As I don't follow the written description, it must mean that I refuse to follow rules when I disagree with them.
I trust that your training invokes you to use a different coloured pen whenever you write a cross

I was also confuddled by that description.

Re: X marks the spot

Actually, when I was teaching I would often adapt my earlier description:

Top left to bottom right, then bottom left to top right

to

Bottom left to top right
then, shortly afterwards, top left to bottom right


on the occasions when I had given a tick and then realised it wasn't quite correct after all.

Another "lefty" here with No. 7, but it just feels "right".

Left-handedness is a sign of the devil.
