    In this vast bleu world, many a person walk differing paths. Some of these paths are much more worn and trodden than others, however in the end day all lead to the same place.
    Anyways enough with the preamble and let's get to the main point
    a52.png
    How do you write the letter X?
    Was it the same as the way you were taught in school?
    Why is your path the best one?

    I personally write in the style of 2 Since childhood but most friends I quizzed were doing style 7.

    8 is the only proper way to write an X.

    People are taught how to write an X in school? Don't they just draw an X and tell you to copy it?

    It is the fastest way as your pen would be closest to the next letter.

    It is 7 all the way for me. After all, I start writing a letter from the top left hand corner first.

    For writing the letter K, after the first stroke from the top left, I will go for the top right next. Feels like oddballs if you don't write from the top.

    For letters like O and Q, I start the circle from the top as well.

    It's supposed to look like a fish if you don't pick up your pen properly.

    5 is the truest path. It feels like it flows among the best I mean, less time taken between the two strokes

    yep. I thought it wrote it like number 7, but it turns out when I actually tried writing an x, I do it like number 8. Most efficient

    I always use the 7th style of writing the letter 'x'.

    Why, this is the exact thing the great masters of writing taught me in my academy.

    My dao is of the best way, for it is very easy to write in. Just 2 downstrokes. You can stand on a downward slope and left gravity do all the work, as a bonus.
