This is making the rounds on twitter


Supposedly Europeans do it 5 or 6, while Americans do 7 or 8


I never really thought there was another common way than 7 or 8.

If you aren't doing 8 you are doing it wrong.

Any way other than 7 just feels wrong.

I'm a 7.

This is actually kind of interesting b/c in some written languages stroke order is fairly important. Japanese is the first that comes to mind.

Colored line is the first, black is the second.
