I like the brief form for because in pre-Simplified. No good reason … just cuz.

Me too. Easier to write than the whole thing.
I use b-k, which as Carlos has pointed out was the brief form used in the original Gregg edition. It feels more natural to me. I also use if to represent 'book'. No conflict because they are different parts of speech.
That one does seem to be more practical.
Be aware that b-k can't be used for "cause", which k-s was. That's why it was changed in the 1898 edition: cause-because as k-s, book-become as b-k.
Interesting, Carlos – that makes a lot of sense. But with Simplified or later, writing 'cause' out in full [k-o-s] seems as facile (and pretty much as quick) as k-s.
I write k-s with one motion of the pen very quickly. But I agree with you, k-o hook-left s is very quick too. It's a preference, that's all.
