  for whom?
  I am making my living from drawing ellipses since 1934 along with millions of others so called 'ellipsedrawers'...
  Now you have ruined our lives... opened a door and unleashed hordes of ellipsedrawer wannabes!!! thank you very much

Ellipse by definition.
This ellipse appears to be a circle because of such a low eccentricity. If you try this and measure across then up/down, the distances will be unequal.

Smash360: Compasses don't construct ellipses.

Everyone else that says it's a circle is wrong.

However, this approach will trace out a circle if the 2 pins are brought together to one point.

Hmm.
Good thing I always carry around two toothpicks and a little bit of string... you know... in case there's an emergency situation in which an eclipse MUST be drawn.

Thank you OP. Thank you for bringing this situation to light and making sure people can be properly prepared. You sir, are a hero.

You can draw a ellipse with a compas...

Ellipse???
This is not a ellipse, is a circle.
Are you stupid or what???

- It is an ellipse
  It is an ellipse, it's just got similar sized axes. Notice the two focal points, a circle only has ONE centre point.
