How did you start using the E with the dots? I've seen it before, but it's really a deviation from the &.

The dots are suppose to be vertical lines. It would look like this if I were writing all neat and tidy like.

I had a math professor as an undergrad who wrote very artistically. I began copying his handwriting when I took notes because it was so beautiful. I now to this day often make lower loops on g, j, y and z (it's a half-cursive z) and upper loops on f and h.
