And bad handwriting and an aversion to wasting paper...Because of naughty inclinations?
That's the way I was taught so I have sticked to it out of habit and that's how I write, but honestly I don't know. It seems a bit illogical.
I have wondered the same before and searched a bit on the net, but found nothing...
I have found one on a forum but the guy tells to contact him privately if someone wants it. Too bad it's a post made in 2008.
I gave it a try for fun but it's rather poor I think because I never did such things. Also I have no idea what to put for x, y and z.

Looks like Roman handwriting but for the 'u/v' character being too large. 'P' looks a bit like the Runic character.
You're right, I will fix it. Thanks!Looks like Roman handwriting but for the 'u/v' character being too large. 'P' looks a bit like the Runic character.
Does the p look wrong?
Not ſure if wrong, but just ſtruck me as ſimilar to Runic reclining 'Π' for 'peor'.
Mark like full ſtop distinguiſhing 'e' from 'f' looks too much like miſplaced punctum. Real stroke would be better. Plain vertical ſtroke for 'i' would also be clearer.

Isn't the p right? http://vindolanda.csad.ox.ac.uk/4DLink2/4DACTION/WebRequestQuery?searchTerm=299&searchType=number&searchField=TVII&thisListPosition=1&thisPageNum=0Not ſure if wrong, but just ſtruck me as ſimilar to Runic reclining 'Π' for 'peor'.

I don't understand the other things, I didn't even put "f"s in the text I wrote.
If you look at the Vindolanda letters, you will see that when using cursive scripts, the daily script used by the Romans, words did indeed run together, but they also were sometimes separated from one another - much depended on the personal style of the individual writer. Writing materials were comparatively expensive, and space was limited - much like modern day post cards, but these were even smaller - cramming things in to the space was a reasonable thing to do. Google for 'Vindolanda Tablets Online'. There are also some excellent examples on display in the British Museum.
