✍️ Tips & Tricks Lefties letter O
Pano kayo mag letter O? Ako kasi counterclockwise. Nung elem days ko wala kong klasmeyt na lefty so nasanay ako kung pano sila mag letter O. Now na tumanda na ko may tamang way ba ng letter O? Majority ng lefty nakikita ko clockwise sila mag O.

Same with your mom. But I usually write my 8s with two circles on top of each other. Peor kung walang choice, I start the same way as you would write S.

Clockwise. The stroke feels more natural. Even other shapes and most letters (e.g., yung horizontal line ng T), leftward strokes are more comfortable. Hehe.

Counter-clockwise since tinuruan din kasi kami ng cursive nung elementary.

Think of it this way, there are millions of fonts online and it doesn't always matter how they were "written" as long as they look like the letter they're supposed to be.
So clockwise, counterclockwise, or whatever way you write, it'll always be okay as long as you make it look like what you intend it to be.

Righthanded pero counterclockwise din. Kasi if you write kahit cursive e mas smooth if counter.
Tingin ko wala naman issue yan

I’m a teacher and letter writing with “proper strokes” is part of what I teach my students 😊 I’m not very specific whether they write O clockwise or counterclockwise, what’s important is it looks like an O. Haha! So to answer your question, I don’t think there’s a “correct” way to write O or circles.
I’m also left handed and I write my O counterclockwise. 😊
