Which is correct when referring to stroke count: 畫 or 劃?
劃
[4] [n] stroke (of a Chinese character)

~

畫
[3] [n] stroke of a Chinese character

For the meaning of 'pen stoke', it can be either. However, I prefer 劃.
When 劃 is used as a noun, it can only mean 'stroke'. meanwhile when 畫 is used as a noun, it means 'drawing' primarily.
