How do you write your 8s? Most people I know write it like a vertical infinity. For some reason, I changed my way of writing it a couple years ago, so it's actually just two circles stacked on top of each other. Apparently this is weird. I don't know why, but I like the more roundedness of the two circles versus that weird connecting cross thing in the middle. My regular 8 is on the left. What most people I know write is on the right. Sorry for the out of focus shots. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9BQ9X.jpg)  | ||

I think you'd see more varied responses if you asked about 2 (loop at the bottom left or no loop), 5 (one stroke from top right to bottom left, or two strokes, first top left to bottom left, then the horizontal bar on top), 7 (horizontal slash or not), or zero (slash or not). | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.mojikyo.gr.jp/gif/001/001450.gif) Why? Because the question of 2 circles vs vertical infinity almost ruined my life. I'm a recovering eightoholic. e. Nowadays I steer clear from round shapes what-so-ever. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RnhKg.png) There's a lot of different ways to write numbers. I know "7"s and "4"s are always an area of high controversy too. I was trying to be neat here but I'm oftentimes just scribbling when I'm rushing and I always manage to confuse my "3"s, "6"s, and "8"s in various combinations. | ||

For a 4 I do the L and the I method. However, my terrible handwriting leads to this handy dandy chart of deciphering my shit when it comes to my notes. It especially sucks when I have to write something like "mu is proportional to n^alpha" or something cuz I have no idea what the hell I write. (mu alpha n^alpha). Or psi and phi, holy fuck I cannot write those things at fucking all. What I try to write vs how it ends up looking, as reproduced in paint to get the gist of it. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/E3Jbw.png) | ||

Edit: after a little bit of testing, I think another efficient way to white 8's is to do a 3 and then a rever 3, maybe not as efficient at standard but surely better than 2 circles. | ||
