If You Don’t Mind Me Asking: How Do You Write an Uppercase ‘E’?

It’s a Friday, and we aren’t going to achieve world peace today. So, let’s just forget about anything important, and pose THIS random question:

How do YOU write an uppercase ‘E‘?

A new poll asked more than 1,600 people, and the most common answer was:  Make a vertical line, then three horizonal lines.  42% of people do it like that.

27% of people make “a square, unrounded ‘C,’ and then add the middle line.”

25% of people make “an ‘L,’ and then add the other two horizontal lines.”

7% of people make “an upside down ‘L,’ and then add the other two lines.”

And 13 people, or less than 1%, claim they make the three horizontal lines first, then go back and add the vertical line.

The one that WASN’T an option?  Making a backward ‘3’ top to bottom, all in one stroke.

Someone said that’s, quote, “The most atrocious to read, yet easiest to write.”  BUT it’s also the closest to how you’d make a CURSIVE E.
