A Survey of “t-h” Joins in the Definite Article and Other Wording

A simple classification for the methods of joining letter “t” to letter “h” in lower-case handwriting was developed and used to gather data on “th” joins in the definite article and in other wording. The frequency of occurrence of each category of join was obtained in the two environments. The results suggest that the two environments are largely the same in respect of this classification of this feature.
