Which way do you draw an X?

[Justawaterformeplease]

The coloured line is the first stroke. Also... where are you from, are you left or right-handed and how old are you?

I’m 8, grew up in UK, mid 30s.

And right-handed! Couldn’t even follow my own instructions.

North East. 30s. Right handed.

5, grew up in England, early 30s, right handed.

I'm an 8 too. I'm 27, right handed, Cumbria.

1. Right handed. UK and early 50's.

Late 30s, Shropshire

Lefthanded, so no 7.

Right handed

1. Uk, left handed, mid 40s.

So what does it mean?!

8, South Africa, early 30s

8, Scotland, mid 30s and right handed

Apparently most Europeans do 7 or 8, while Americans do 5 or 6 - I wanted to test this theory on Mumsnet!

I'm something of an anomaly; 3, I'm 52, from NE England

Oop, I meant I do 2, not 3

8

I'm left handed, from Derbyshire and 33.

6
English
Early 40’s

6 or 8 depending on my mood (probably depending on whether 'I'm writing x within a word, or as a mathematical operator).

Generally though it's none of them, it's "press x" on a keyboard.

Also an English, right-handed 3!

Ooh, interesting! I'm a 5 and have been since childhood (though I've changed the way I do some other things since then) : 40s, right handed from the UK.

Right handed . None of the above

Whoops, sorry. 8. Just checked again.

6
Early/mid 40s
Northern England
Right handed

6, and all the other ways of writing it look strange and unnatural to me.

British but have an American parent.

1. England , right handed , 30.
