[EchoMan]

7 is for winners.

So people who voted Leave used a 7

 

[humbug]

if it's a capital x then 8, if writing longhand then 7

 

[Purrfect South]

8 here.

actually having sat here and written a row of crosses I realise that I use 7 the most. The L/R brain law applies I reckon.

7 causes complications in some countries such as Spain, where it appears to them to be a 1. if it doesn’t have a line through it.

"How do you draw an 'X'? It's a question that is dividing social media.

Top left to top right or top right to top left?

Apparently there are eight different ways to draw an 'X'. Really?

Most people in the Newsround office chose number eight, which starts from the top right to bottom left, then top left down to bottom right.

The picture was posted on Twitter by @SMASEY from Philadelphia in America, and has already been 'liked' more than 40,000 times.

Some people are saying that maybe Americans choose 7 or 8 while people in the UK go for 5 or 6. Others argue being left-handed or right-handed influences your choice.

TV presenter Stephen Fry even joined the debate and revealed he was a 7.

So, what do you think, how do you draw your 'X'?"




I'm on Team 7 with Stephen Fry.

Any freaks on here a 3?

Top left to middle then to bottom left. Top right to middle then to bottom right.

No one draws or writes an X.
Surely it’s a big whoosh.

Everyone should be drawing or writing a X.

I’m assuming Australians do 4?

8 for me.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

8

Method 8 is the only right answer of course. Any other way and your level of psychosis increases exponentially.

It used to be 8 for me, but I've outsourced that task now to India

7 and I don’t like Yank ways

Harsh, mutherfucker, harsh
