Is it just me or is an 8 incredibly difficult to write? I used to always write them by doing a figure-8 on the page with my pen, but when you're writing fast that turns more and more into a deformed 6. So then I started just doing two small circles like architects do (I think), but now that have gotten too tedious and sometimes my circles overlap too much or not at all. It's a crap shoot each time. Why can't we use a symbol like a backwards 3 for the 8? Or a backwards 7? Anything would be easier than this 8 character. I might just start writing an X in my notes instead of each 8.
