X, the 24th letter of the english alphabet, is a very special letter with many meanings.
It could mean kisses written at the end of a letter.
It could mean the spot to find buried treasure, it could represent the number 10.
But right now, the internet is furiously debating on the right way to draw an X.
I’m going to tell you about the new yanny and laurel, right now on IO.

First there was the black and blue, white and gold dress, then there was yanny and laurel,
and now, there’s the right way to draw an x.
Twitter user smasey sparked some serious debating when she tweeted, which way do you draw an
x, colored line being the first stroke.
Apparently, everyone draws an x differently.
I didn’t even know this, I always thought everyone drew an x the same way.
According to the picture she tweeted, There are 8 different ways that you can draw an
x.
Do you draw the right stroke first, do you draw the left.
Do you go up, do you go down.
It also depends on if you’re right or left handed.
Be sure to let me know in the comments how you draw an x.
I can just picture you all drawing imaginary x’s on your laps.
Me personally, use way number 5.
I know I know, apparently that’s weird.
But its not as weird as being a 1 or a 2, or god forbid, a 3.
The tweet at this time is going viral, it has 53.4 favorites on twitter, a nd around
40 thousand people were talking about it at the time of this recording.
Of course with debates like this, because everyone is different, and everyone was raised
differently, the debating gets pretty intense.
Aokiji tweeted.
Depending on if you’re right or left handed, it should be 7 or 8.
What kind of sick person draws an x any other way.
THIS KIND OF SICK PERSON, COME AT ME.
Eddie tweeted.
8, people who draw bottom to top are also the ones that put their toilet paper on the
holder the wrong way.
I happen to put the toilet paper on the holder the right way and I fold the end into a triangle.
WHAT?
It looks prettier!
Does me doing it the 5th way confirm I’m a psychopath?
Cus I don’t understand why you why would I start the first or second stroke from up
high.
The line your pen originates on is down below, if you’re writing cursive which is how many
of us learn to write.
According to a buzfeed vote, , option 7 is the most popular with almost 150 thousand
thousand votes, option 8 comes in close second at almost 50 votes, and option 5 is third
at 12 thousand votes.
The interesting thing is, theres actually a reason behind why you draw an x the way
you do, and it could have something to do with where you grew up.
Americans do 7 and 8, while people from the UK do 5 and 6.
You draw an x based on how you were taught to draw an x when you were young.
Canada was a british colony so it would make sense if that was the reason why I do it the
5th way.
But Hayley is a 7 and she was born in Canada so im not too sure why theres a difference
between us.
Let me know how you draw and x and lets furiously debate it down in the comments.
For now I’m going to do some comment replies.
