my ays and ees often look alikeish. my ohs often look
like standard ees, but not like ees in my handwriting.
aitch and kay are distinguished by where they curve
and where they point. yu and ie often distinguish by
the dot only, except that the dot of the ie is
frequently absorbed into any letter that comes before
it ( arr, ef ) and forms the starting point for any
above-the-line strokes afterwards. em is freqeuntly an
extended line, whilst en has a ~45 degree slope in the
middle. zed looks like a three, whilst ex looks like a
reversed three. wye and gee are distinguished only in
that gee has a complete loop at the top ( starting at
the bottom and proceeding clockwise ) whilst wye
doesn't. vee and arr often look similar, tho vee is
more likely to connect with the next letter . . .

anyway, what i can say for certain is that my writing
takes up a HUGE amount of space. on A4 paper ( 210 x
297 mm for those unfamiliar ) i can get about five
words per line . . . !
