Re:Why are there two ways to write the lowercase letter ‘a’?... by remedan on Tuesday May 18, 2021 @05:04AM (#27192572)
I write it that way. Here is a sample of my handwriting: https://i.imgur.com/QgYpgIf.jpg

As a kid, I was influenced by the font used in the Neverhood to adopt this style. :) At some point I even wrote lower case 'a's like in print. That didn't stick, but the 'g's did for whatever reason.

The g in dog is interesting, because while it's clearly a g in context, it would definitely read as an 8 in a vacuum.
