Even in the small sample we have, Ross has that noticeable spacing.

Described in this video, around 8:57:

We really need more of Ross's writing to look at. That odd spacing in Zodiac's true writing is a real writing habit in my opinion, and whomever Z was, if we had enough of their writing to examine, we would see the same things.

I keep coming back to Morrill's claim - that Z's handwriting wasn't contrived, but "natural" (whatever that means in this context - his writing clearly varies a great deal).

The spacing, I think, is hard to explain as a means to throw anyone off the scent. I think it is "natural" in the sense that he did not consciously opt for it (in order to fool anyone). It's the result of something beyond his control in one way or another - so, yes, if we ever get to see samples of his non-Z writing, I think there's an excellent chance that same, odd spacing will be present in those too.

We are in complete agreement!
