How do you draw an X

[fyl2u]

7 if I'm just drawing an X, as in two straight lines crossing each other.

In cursive it'd be a 7 for a word like fox where the lead-in comes from the top of the previous letter, but in a word like axe where the lead-in comes from the bottom of the previous letter, I'd be curving from bottom left to top left like a reversed c shape and then top right to bottom right in a c shape. That one isn't even on there.

I start externally and draw four lines which converge on the center.

8 Really

5. Top left to bottom right then bottom left to top right.

7 is the way I do it, but all are acceptable.

 

[Unbalanced Views]

Fortunately, and unlike most on here, I'm able to write my name, so have little use for the letter x.

Anything other than 8 is just wrong

If we're comparing weird handwriting styles, then i'd love to see everybody's interpretations of the pound (£) symbol.

Mines like the top left of these Ls with two strikethroughs - for some reason if I try and draw it properly is looks like a two year old did it.

Yep me too and I won't be the only one who's just wasted a post-it or scrap of paper double checking

"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?

I'm a life long number 7 man ..

Freak.. Just decide .

5. You need to finish on the right to go to the next letter. (6 works too)

How do you do a b, o, p, t, y, s etc etc?

 

[Jasper]

7 for me

 

[waddy999]

8 for me too.
But I don't cross my 7's because I'm English.

 

[Beery]

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

 

[Jasper]

Just checked. The ‘X’ on Family Fortunes used to start from the top so anyone who starts at the bottom is without doubt a wrangun.
