death tribble 2,983 Report post Posted January 23 They are all wrong. None of them are oval. And that is how you draw X. And you can have M with it so you have M n X. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoloOfEarth 2,481 Report post Posted January 24 How to draw an X? Well first off, I don't have very good drawing abilities, especially portraiture. The best I can do is stick figures and smiley faces. And secondly, I'm afraid if I drew an X, she might show up. There's a reason she's an X, you know. 2 Pariah and tkdguy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting, I am a lefty, but I found 7 easier Note: come to think of it (to make me more weird than anyone else, as per usual). Doing it with my hands (as if writing in the dirt I do do it as 8, but with a pen on paper #7) not sure why I do it that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, if it comes to drawing, I am screwed, I cant draw completely straight lines (nor cut paper in 100% straight line) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starlord 3,022 Report post Posted January 25 During initial testing, I used methods 7 and 8. However, final phase testing utilized drawing of said subject whilst in concert with certain words such as 'tax' and 'saxophone'. Final phase resulted in all 7s. Please. Be precise people.

Pattern Ghost 2,065 Report post Posted January 25 5 makes more sense for "tax" and "saxophone," because it's the most efficient stroke coming off the bottom of the "a." 1 Starlord reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 1,317 Report post Posted January 25 going upwards with a stroke feels clunky to me regardless of efficiency. Unless I am writing in cursive, and other than signing my name, I no longer do (no x in my name) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pattern Ghost 2,065 Report post Posted January 25 Well, Starlord did ask us to be precise. I never do it outside of cursive either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Man 8,661 Report post Posted January 25 People still write cursive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 1,317 Report post Posted January 25 Maybe, I guess. I never liked doing it as a kid, as I was way neater with print, so after high school, I largely began to use it less and less. And since college I only use it for signature reasons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tjack 120 Report post Posted January 25 I do a 7, but I have a question I don’t think anybody asked. Why do you ask? Is there supposed to be some significance to a persons answer or is this a “button then zip or zip then button” kind of thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Man 8,661 Report post Posted January 25 In all seriousness, cursive writing was flat out not taught to my kids in elementary school. It's no longer part of the curriculum. One teacher offered some minimal instruction in it as an afterthought after-school workshop for a few weeks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Man 8,661 Report post Posted January 25 I do zip then button, as I am less likely to forget to zip that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to write more x's when I'm at a blackboard than other times, so I'll try that situation out as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
