Tryhard Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) I draw a dot in the middle and then draw the spokes out of it in anti-clockwise fashion :^) horizontal. Edited September 3, 2016 by Tryhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Maybe it's an 'of course' for the Chinese. idk 'of course' just sounds insanely smug for a question that nobody has been sure of tbh (though i'm also like 80% sure i've done an 'heh, of course' for divisive questions in the past.) Why does the horizontal + lend itself to Chinese writing? this is a linguistic phenomenon i've never heard of and i'm interested. enlighten me, sf Edited September 3, 2016 by Parrhesia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I think I do both. Not at the same time, just in general. Although I know I learn towards Vertical first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does the horizontal + lend itself to Chinese writing? this is a linguistic phenomenon i've never heard of and i'm interested. enlighten me, sf Speaking from a Japanese perspective, but Chinese uses Kanji as well so I'm hoping the idea is similar enough. Kanji uses stroke order, where you "should" draw characters a very specific way so they're easier to remember/look good/you can look it up in a dictionary/a ton of things. It's considered poor handwriting to write these characters "out of order," and stroke order typically starts from top left or at least the left-hand side and then goes toward the bottom right, so horizontal > vertical is how it would "make sense," I'm guessing. Also the character 十 looks like + and goes horizontal > vertical so it's prob habit/comfort if you're coming from that background. Or you could learn + whatever way regardless and he's still being haughty about it! Edited September 3, 2016 by PKLucas531 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
