When you write the number 0, do you go clockwise or anticlockwise from the top? For different than I described, reply and explain yourself if you want.

    @brittcoxon@mastodon.art I got my directions wrong and voted for clockwise/right-handed when I meant anticlockwise, whoops. I can also write with my left hand, and that is also anticlockwise. I don't start at the top, but around 10 o'clock right-handed going down and 2 o'clock left-handed going up.

    @brittcoxon@mastodon.art Anticlockwise / widdershins. Same as I write an o, or the o-like part of a lower case a,

    @brittcoxon@mastodon.art clockwise and right-handed, but I start from the left side, around the middle.

    @Lefoyenlibre@mastodon.social @brittcoxon@mastodon.art this is the answer. By far most of the time when I write 0, it's like this ..

    @brittcoxon@mastodon.art Just to be difficult, I'm ambidexterous and write it anticlockwise with both hands. It feels icky to write it clockwise.

    @brittcoxon@mastodon.art Waiting for someone to say, “counterclockwise; I’m American.”

    @brittcoxon@mastodon.art @mdmrn@urusai.social Right-handed, anti-clockwise starting at the top, but THEN I add a slashthrough, bottom-left to upper-right TAKE THAT, confusing notation!!
