I make my eights with two circles rather than a 'figure-eight'. I always wonder how prevalent either method is, or rather more bluntly, am I weird?

I do this too, but trying to change it. I learned as a figure-eight, then switched to two-circles in grad school (for some reason), but now learning Morse code and copying 8's takes too long if you don't write them as one motion.
I do this because they just look better and they're easier to read. Figure-eights start to get sloppy when I do them and quickly become unreadable.
I do the two circle method of writing 8s
