Tips for mathematical handwriting (2007)
I make my x's with a backwards c and a c, like Computer Mondern and lots of fonts

- doesn't look much like a chi or a times sign

My x looks like a cross in normal handwriting, but like two back-to-back c's in algebra. I developed this habit very young, and have kept it.
