They're both "correct", I think the second one is just a more handwritten-style font (it's how I write it actually). It's like the difference between a typed and handwritten 'a'. You can check out Yamasa for examples of kanji in handwritten fonts.

Like Jaunty said, both are correct, it's just different fonts. I easily prefer the second one, but the first one is extremely common in signs etc in Japan.

The first one is far more common and will register in someone's mind much more immediately.

I got wrist slapped for writing it the first way.... but that was for Chinese.

Don't be fooled. It's a ploy by the illuminati to slowly shape kanzi/hanzi into Roman letters.

Get some sleep and change your avatar. You went from artificial to odd and a little off-putting.
Is there some specific reason you're using a severed head without eyes that looks like it was created in Blender by a 5th grader?
