I havent used x in an algebraic sense in a while, but I probs do it the same way.

So say if you wrote the word 'six'*, you'd use the curvy x as well?

* - was originally going to specify another word quite similar... damn hormones of mine.

This is how I do them all.

From top to bottom; 7, x, z, 2, 5, l, t, i, 1

Without the dash (lazy). But sometimes I add it when I'm bored, or if it looks too close to something else

The way I write "x" is always cursive. Even in english, business and etc. Just a habit I guess

It's an effort to draw them like that. Especially when I'm doing like... area of a rectangle? Normal l's look like a 1 so I have to put the curve in. See "l" and "1" on the top line.

Pics seemed easier then trying to explain it through text :p.
I also write the same way in maths as I do for everything else.

That reason is why I now do curly i, l and t.

I think an interesting thing would be to ask how others write the more... difficult maths symbols.

Like how do we draw the 'R' to say 'real numbers'? Or the partial derivative symbol? Or certain Greek letters? Integral signs?

I print in regular handwriting but for maths contexts I use cursive letters, and put a line through my z's and occasionally 7's.

How about we form a list here of things we could write - someone make a thread, and let's see how we all compare.

Because we have nothing better to do on our Saturday nights =P

So how about:

- R, C, N and Q: symbols for those sets of numbers
- Partial derivative symbol
- Integral sign
- Lowercase: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, theta, lambda, mu, pi, rho, sigma, phi, omega
- Uppercase: gamma, pi, sigma, omega
- the squiggly set things: { and }
- the arrows that look like this
- infinity
- proportionality
- numbers 0 to 9 (why not?)

y/n
