Having seen this article today:

AIBU to think that 8 is the only way? Why would you do it any other way!

Hold up there, Sally! I’m so with you on the 8 and the a, g and s. But how are you writing t or f or a or a or d or for the love of god c if you’re ending up on the “wrong” side according to the pp?

I think I'm writing them normally! The pp asked how I know where to start the x if I start it on the right, away from what I've just written. So I start all those letters a little way away from the letter before it and they fill the space, if that makes sense?!
