I heard a lecture by a graphologist this weekend, who posited
that people who dot their Is with circles want to be the
center of attention (he also claimed that people who extend
the crosses on their lower case Ts are determined, people who
have definite loops in their upper case letters are religious
or spiritual, and the loops on your upper case Is reveal your
relationship with your parents. It all seemed about as likely
as a newspaper horoscope to me, but YMMV).
