 In NCI News

Every 3 months there’s a new internet debate.  This time the internet is weighing in on how to draw an “X” properly. Over 200,000 people voted on an online poll, and it turns out 90% of us do it one of two ways.  Find out where you fit in.

There are some things you just do without thinking.  Like, the way you draw the letter ‘x’ for instance.  Probably something you learned in grade school and since then haven’t put much thought into it.

Turns out, there are 8 different ways to write the letter X, and most of us do it one of two ways.

The most popular way is #7 in the diagram, where you start top-left  and draw the line to bottom -right.  Then draw the second line from top-right to bottom-left.  68% of people do it that way.
