I'm glad Brian Kernighan has as much trouble writing braces by hand as us mere mortals do.

The trick to writing braces is this - for a { write a 5 than a 2 below and for a } write a 2 then a 5 below. Practice it a little and you will be writing perfect braces in no time.

Also it is quite amusing how many people love this trick when I tell them after they have spent a decade or more struggling.
