"dot your i and cross your t and cross your x and cross your f and dot your j and cross your z(optional) and mind your p's and q's" .....not so catchy.

because if you don't cross your x when you write it it's not an x, it's a v.

@boxtop But if you don't cross your T, it's an L.

An x uncrossed would just be a slash, buddy. Making an upside down v doesn't mean crossing it

I draw the line going diagonally to the lower right first, then the one going diagonally to the upper left. Uncrossed, it would have these two lines but without a crossing point.

Why? Why would you do that? Making an x, isn't really that convoluted a process, that everyone needs to find their own way of doing it... so you're saying, you first create a reverse y? Then draw the little slash? And still your argument was if you don't cross it, then it's a v, but you draw a y... it makes no sense

\ and /, if you cross them in the middle, make an x. If not, you get \/, which resembles a v.
