- Graphology
- Handwriting has changed throughout time.
- U/V
- Interchangeable
- Determined by the position in the word
- Only later did they represent the consonant V and the vowel U.
- Y/I/J
- The letter J used to represent I
- Y or I could represent the sound I.
- This has changed due to standardisation.
- S/SH
- SH used in the middle of words instead of S
- Punctuation
- A stroke did the job of a full stop or comma.
- Colons, semi-colons and speech marks started to appear in the early Modern English period.
- Upper-case/Lower-case
- Upper-case was used for all nouns.
- Grammar restricted their usage.
