do you cross your 7's ?

[Guest FortyTwo]

Generally i do.

[Guest dilbthelame]

never used to then one day i just flipped and thought the hell with it, man and since that day i always, always have done.

also

my 1s are straight lines, as are my Is

my 4s are open

o-0....no idea. i can vaguely do circley things.

 

 

i think this is my most interesting post of ever.

Do I look like a freak?

[SCONES TO DIE FOR]

I write my sevens like a 3 just to

[Guest -Ad-]

80% of the time I do. It's just habit, no real reason.

 

And I always dot my i's after the stroke of the word. It's more efficient than dotting after the stroke of the i

[chomp]

How do you tell O and 0 apart when you handwrite it?

Cross the zero from bottom-left to upper-right

 

too easily confused with phi. leave zero a bland circle and add a twist at the top of capital/lowercase o!

[tipper]

I line my sevens and cross my zeros. Was under the impression that this was a somewhat European thing to do.

[Alcofribas]

wtf

 

 

the fuck? 'tis very personal question.

lol

[sidewinder]

If I sent a letter to Europe and there is a 7 in the address, yes. Otherwise, no.

[encey]

yes, and then i cross my D7CK

[Caretstik]

sometimes but only if I fuck it up and it looks like a 1.

+open 4s and straight Is (capitals) or with a dot (lower case). My lower case zs also look like threes, fuck knows why I've always done that.

[essines]

i did for about 2 years in elementary school. never again.

[Berk]

yes

[luke viia]

yeah i cross my 7's. Z's too. for some reason i really hesitated to answer this question though, as if i'm admitting to something socially unacceptable... but crossing those symbols feels good, OK.

Bad experience?

[Guest Deep Fried Everything]

i think it started when i was going to school for engineering, where it's of the utmost importance that every single character be uniquely identifiable. so yes, always.

 

i will also sometimes put a slanted line through zero's to make them distinct from the letter o, but i don't know if that's a standard convention or not.

[triachus]

Hell yes I do that

 

 

I consider them little mustaches

[BCM]

fuck no

nah, just a waste of time

 

also i used to curl my lower case ts.

 

and do the curly kind of two.

[triachus]

I've seen people crossing a capital Z, on the center line

 

 

I think I used to do that as well. With a curly line

i also cross my lower case "z"s so that they won't be confused as "2"s

[Guest JW Modestburns]

What kind of lazy fuck doesn't cross their 7's?

[essines]

the kind of lazy fuck that i strongly embody.
