Or.....

Does anybody here use italic, bold face, display or caption - as you talk?

Oy Lord of da friggin' Rings! I was being serious!

No really, I mean it: does anybody here use typographical conventions
in their handwriting? (I know: ligatures actually stem from handwriting,
but you know what I mean.)

I use smallcaps and ligatures when I write, but not oldstyle figures.

I use OSF as I write, and sometime small caps and ligatures, too. Sometimes, I like to add in swash caps or alternate figures for my amusement.

Not that my handwriting is even remotely legible, mind you...

just realised, that's the same red marker as wot wrote the 4 in the pic (just changed the colour)

Yes as a matter of fact I just noticed this yesterday when I was filling in a form by hand. To my surprise I used Small Caps. I guess I did it so people could actually read it. My lowercase handwriting seems to be a bit messy.

Yes, all three.
OSF and ligs (proper joining really, as in Caflisch OT) all the time. But lining figures for phone numbers.
Caps with Small caps mainly for subheadings.

Tabular or proportional?.
