I write it with the bar of course. non-bar 7s tend to piss me off

Luckily, I see far more 7s with bars than without

Isn't there something in United States's constitution, that gives citizens the inalienable right to write the number seven however they want to??

I put the bar through my 7.
I put a bar through my z.
I put a loop in the base of my 2.
I write my x like a two c's back to back.
I don't close my 4 at the top.

I do those out of habit because when doing lots of maths it helps to be distinct with your numbers/letters you have written. That said my 4 and my y ended up looking very similar.

I write numbers a fair bit at work, so it helps to make them look at least slightly different. So a bar throught the 7.

Zopperni, you have difficulties writing number 8

I left you food in the fridge. Open the red box, there is FOOD in it. You can HEAT it in the MICROWAVE and eat it. You can call me at any time if you need something, or if you get scared.

Ive had too many data entry jobs to force non-barred 7s on poor people. Lifes tough enough trying to figure out the demented spider scribble of some people even with bars to clear it up.

Hey, the Chinese 7 looks like an inverted Roman 7 with a bar through it.

This post was brought to you by the letters F, U, and by the number 7.
