How do you write the letter "o"?

[The Feline Solution]

clockwise, starting from the top

counterclockwise from 12

Counterclockwise and i start at 11.

I write S from the bottom up, that one is apparently pretty uncommon. Just feels right.

That sounded so alien to me that i had to try it out, left bottom to top, right top to bottom, how i write it. Feels really weird to do it bottom to top, but i kinda dig it.

Cursive WAS normal once upon a time.

Starting from second year elementary school up to, i think, second year of high school we were only allowed to write in cursive. Not to mention in elementary only fountain pen was allowed, pencil for side work (like in math) that we didn't turn in. No sharpies, no ballpoints.

My handwriting is a fucking mess though because I'm a retard

Fucking same, using a keyboard for so long i have trouble reading my own handwriting from time to time.

I just voted "some other bullshit way" because this question broke me and I no longer how i normally write a fucking o. Do I start at 12? 6? 11? 7? I don't even fucking know anymore.

Yeah that's weird, the problem I got is I often write it like the wafen-ss.

Anyways I just want to say the trick to making a good circle relies on mainly just using your shoulder.

A circle. If it's a capital O in the same sentence as a 0, I put a line through the 0.

 

[God's drunkest driver]

Clockwise from the top, whether right handed or left. The other letters I think I may write oddly are
b - I do a lowercase o but starting at 9 o clock then go straight up when I close it
y - I make a lowercase u then extend the tail diagonally
Y - One continuous stroke, down to the right, straight down, back up, to the left

Nobody taught me how to write correctly until they started teaching cursive in school, so I have very nice textbook cursive but kind of odd print handwriting, though it is still exceedingly neat because I did a stint as a drafter.

 

[Overly Serious]

Being a functional adult who writes joined up letters, I naturally write it starting at the top where it connects from the previous character, then personally do a neat counter-clockwise circle. A clockwise circle tends to lead to a fly-away stroke into the following letter as your pen is already moving in the direction towards it, whereas a counter-clockwise stroke leads to a tiny pause in the stroke when you reverse direction and I find that a good point to make any minor correction in momentum and direction. Though if you have the control for it or are more concerned with speed, a clockwise motion is more fluid.

However, if doing calligraphy I will sometimes as appropriate, begin at the top, do a semi-circle counter clockwise and then starting again at the top do a semi-circle clockwise, thus creating the whole in two strokes rather than one. This is how you get a properly round capital 'O' at the start of a sentence or a proper noun.

So far it looks like clockwisechads do not stay winning, but we remain morally correct.

No-fucks-given-about-wise-clock chads are the true winners.
