How to Slice an Onion

OK, I've sliced onions before, but I always feel like a moron because I have no idea what I'm doing, and I've resigned myself to the fact I will ALWAYS cry. 

I'm a delicate flower, you know.

The recipe I made the other night called for a "thinly sliced red onion," which sent me to Google to make sure I was on my game.

I thought this video from Real Simple was good. Key word: half moons.
