GTFO.

6. I suppose it's just something I've subconsciously retained from my joined up writing days in school.

7, but 8 is acceptable.
anything else and you should take a long hard look at yourselves.

8 I can see, but not seeing how 7 (or any of the alternatives that end at the left hand side) can work with joined up writing?

Always thought there was something not quite right with @Armageus

There's plenty of things wrong with me, but handwriting isn't one of them

to be fair my writing is terrible and i only join some letters - i can barely read it half the time!

8.
but figure being left handed people go 8.
right handed people will use 7.

Left handed, and use 7.

Normally I'd stop any joining at an x. If I wanted to write nicely, I'd use the type of X you seen in algebra, made from a mirrored letter c.

Someone in work does there's by doing a backward C and a forward C. There weird.

Feeling like a monster right now with #2... No wait #6 lol!

I made the same mistake. X

 

[dr_volki]

just googled it. this is how i was taught at school. so looks like option 8 for lower case one, upper case is option 7?

ignore all that. im confused

What about those of us who start in the middle and do 4 lines out? Lifting my pen off the paper 3 times is the only correct way to write and X.

I'm assuming the correct answer is whichever one finishes bottom right so you can continue writing cursive?

but that would only work for upper case X. lower case x would need to be top right?

I'm left handed.

8 for a cross, but:

for a joined up x.

The correct way - 5
