Well... e.g. I now write capital "F" from the bottom-left to top-right. And I still write a capital "T" as an L from top-left to bottom-right. A lot of times I also write "E" as a reverse "3". I lost my initial down-stroke on "m" and ending downstroke on "u"....

Like you say, if I'm writing longhand with a good pen, I wouldn't write this way; but it definitely shaped my writing. Also, I learned cursive in 1st grade. I got my first Palm Pilot in 6th grade. It peeled back a lot of my writing style...

Really the amount of time I spend trying to just stop Android from using the wrong autocomplete words is less than what it took to jot letters out on the Palm...
