Having seen this article today:

www.thepoke.co.uk/2019/01/21/everyones-compare-draw-x-people-minds-blown/

AIBU to think that 8 is the only way? Why would you do it any other way!

8, leftie

Mummyoflittledragon · 28/12/2019 06:54

The pants
My x (8) can also be joined up.

BelfastNonBlonde · 28/12/2019 06:54

I actually do both of 7 AND 8

Depends how fast / neatly / deliberately I am writing at the time..

miamiibiza · 28/12/2019 06:54

5 - best for cursive I find

Jojo19834 · 28/12/2019 06:56

5 for me, can move on with rest of the word from there (I don’t join up, not sure if it makes a difference)

Lots of love for 5, 7 and 8 then. The rest seem to be a bit more outlying Grin

8 is the way. Any other way is weird and wrong

mumderland · 28/12/2019 07:34

8

Dontdisturbmenow · 28/12/2019 07:37

Another 8 and left handed.

Ulysses · 28/12/2019 07:38

Left handed number 8 here,

Ohffs66 · 28/12/2019 07:40

7 here

JustACog · 28/12/2019 07:43

Leftie and 8

Pashazade · 28/12/2019 07:43

Just asked DH he's a 7. Me, total outlier I do 4 for lower case (it's in DS's name so write it quite a lot) and 6 for upper case! Blush

Pashazade · 28/12/2019 07:43

Oh and we're both Lefties!

Minimamame · 28/12/2019 07:59

KamikazeIdiot · 28/12/2019 08:00

6

JacquesHammer · 28/12/2019 08:02

Upper case - 7
Lower case - none of them

NeverForgetYourDreams · 28/12/2019 08:05

I do 7 but start with the other side. Now that's weird !
