(as far as I know, this is valable for those who write from left to right, with the right hand)

Process types write straight - i.e. with fixed angle
Result types write like waves - i.e. with variable angle
Why?

Also one thing to consider is the influence of school. When I was in elementary school teachers were real big on slanting to the right and correcting you if you did not do this (apparently they had nothing more important to do).

And of course, I think it's generally easier for left-handers to slant to the left and for right-handers to slant to the right.
