I do.  But what's really funny, is that nobody has a problem reading it.

 

And people say it's 'Hard to Learn'.

It's happened to me, too. Ts, Fs and Ys, mostly.

Haven't tried Jot yet, think there's much difference?

I too seem to write in Grafiti often without noticing. My co-workers think I'm having a stroke or something:) :D

I hardly ever handwrite anything... always typing on the computer or using Graffiti on my Clie. However, I was taking some notes on paper last week and caught myself doing Graffiti strokes. :)

I often get mixed up and start writing worksheets and essay's for school in Graffiti. It takes a while for me to even notice I'm doing it.

I learned graffiti in one day. But then I had to train myself to write normally on paper.

Nowadays I can subconsiously differentiate between paper and clie.

I do so much writing in school that writing on paper and writing graffiti are two completely different functions for me. Just like I can type on a keyboard at full speed, but then write letters on paper without my fingers twitching. At first I would try to merge the two, but after 2 years I can do either writing, graffiti, or typing without any mental action to seperate the motions.

I only put pen to paper for very special messages/letters to people who really matter to me and then I use top grade stationery and a Porsche titanium pen and enjoy a sensuous feeling. But no I do not write in graffiti.

I voted yes because when I used to use graffiti I slipped into it quite often when using pen and paper.

I made the switch to Jot about 6 months after getting into Palm OS handhelds. Although I was very good at graffiti and I saw no reason to make the switch at the time, I now believe I could never go back. I originally switched to Jot because someone bought me the program as a gift.

After a few weeks with the program I decided to keep it because I found it to be a much more natural way to write on my Clie. I have better stroke recognition and I just love word complete. I am excited to hear Palm OS is moving toward this type of data entry in future handhelds.

I most often find myself accidentally writing a couple graffiti strokes when I'm writing notes in class with pen and paper. When I'm writing fast and not thinking, the most common letter I write in graffiti by accident is 'E' It's kinda funny, because when I first got my Clie, I would be writing 'regular' letters on my graffiti pad by accident, but now it's changing lol.

Other than that... i wrote my name on a paper that I handed in with graffiti once.. since it was just for fun, i wrote my name with 'regular' letters underneath it just in case...
