    Didn’t realise there was any other way.

  • 8 but is there any reason behind this ?

    Thinking just the same.....7 anyway.
  • No. 8

    Did anyone else have to write an X either on paper on invisibly on the table before responding?

    Yes me :joy:

    8 for me. I'm a southpaw/cackhanded wandering if there's correlation? One thing I've noticed from a couple of left handers of my acquaintance is that they do ticks backwards. The big bit then the little bit. They should be hung as witches.

    I’m cackhanded and an 8 too.
    Also, when I mark a student’s work, I draw my ticks backwards (I do the small bit first, then the long bit, but the small bit is on the right - the only reason is that it’s quicker for me to do it that way and that’s vital when marking 200 odd test papers over a weekend!)

    I go from left to right too when doing a tick

    Didnt know there was a different way of doing it, it felt awkward trying to do an invisible tick from right to left on my desk a second ago - Certainly going to get questions when others come into the office shortly and see all these imaginary ticks and crosses thats for sure

  • 5 for me
  • Only on Charlton life will I ever see a group of people discussing how they right the letter ‘x’ on a Monday morning.


    I’m a 7 too.

    For upper case 7
    For lower case 9 (as Lord Romford suggested, it's a hangover from doing A-level Maths)

    3, is the magic number

    Are you left handed?

    If writing an x while writing a sentence, I’ll do number 8, but if writing an x while using algebra, I’ll do a ‘curly’ x, sort of like two letter ‘c’s, back to back. (I’ve always been told that mathematicians do this to help distinguish between an ‘x’ and a multiplication sign, which seems feasible, but I don’t know for sure if it’s true...) :smile:

    This. 8 for me. I blame A-level Physics and Econometrics at Uni.

    (The psychiatrists will probably say that those that say 8 are more likely to commit mass murder or something!)
  • Unless there is some reason for asking the question I really don’t get it.

    Yes, does that impact?
  • always a 7
  • No. 8

    I was drawing an invisible X in front of me. Which did look a bit weird!
