Having seen this article today:

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

7

Bouldghirl · 28/12/2019 08:06

7 for me. None of the other ways make any sense to me.

NeverForgetYourDreams · 28/12/2019 08:06

Oh sorry that means I do 8 (not for my glasses on!)

CrazylazyJane · 28/12/2019 08:18

5 here. As a primary school teacher, 5 is the only way to form it, if you want to join to the next letter correctly.

7, I'm left handed.

AgeShallNotWitherHer · 28/12/2019 09:02

3 always

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 28/12/2019 09:09

7 😁

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 28/12/2019 09:11

Oh wait misread, the numbers threw me. Mines an 8.

SallyLovesCheese · 28/12/2019 09:18

I do 8.

I thought I did 7 at first, then realised the coloured line covers first and I start top right, so number 8.

If you do any of the options starting at the top right then you’re writing right to left instead of left to right! How can you get the spacing from the previous letter correct if you don’t start next to it?

snapcrap · 28/12/2019 09:30

SevEN!

redwoodmazza · 28/12/2019 09:44

Got to be 8!

SallyLovesCheese · 28/12/2019 09:49

How can you get the spacing from the previous letter correct if you don’t start next to it?

The same way I know where to start a letter t or f or a or q or d or c or g or s Confused

TheAlmightyFinch · 28/12/2019 10:41

Hold up there, Sally! I’m so with you on the 8 and the a, g and s. But how are you writing t or f or a or a or d or for the love of god c if you’re ending up on the “wrong” side according to the pp?

My head: 🤯

I'm a teacher too. 5 is the correct way.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 28/12/2019 11:17

I was taught 3 at school.
