I wish I had a scanner to show you what neat handwriting can look like.

I am the neatest writer most people I know, know.

Whether the bar is there depends whether the last 7 I read has a bar or not. I've very suggestable evidently.

Unless I'm doing maths, then I go with BC's method

Buck, you put bar in your q? You basically make it the sign of feminine? Good luck with that.. My letters have masculinity in it and power.

When I started school here in Sweden, the social democratic regime had enforced a new standard of writing that all pupils had to follow in good stalinistic order. Due to my rebellious nature I've done all I can after my first years of forced indoctrination to not follow this code. A seven with a bar is one of the ways I'm keeping up this life long struggle. I also write capital A's like U's upside down with a bar and 1's with a line under, like this 1. These things I picked up as a army signaleer and now I'm using it in my war against sanity and order.

Two circles?

There is no "way it is supposed to be done".

Tired of ads?

Yes there is. Well you could say this is number eight then: #"€/ ... but it isn't. This is number eight: 8. Simple. It's not two circles. Listen, you can invent your own numbers and letters, but you'll be in a world of trouble when you have to let's say write down your phonenumber for someone.. then they go like 'what is this number, I have never seen this.. circles.. I don't get it', and they'll never get back to you, for example to pay back that $5000 they just borrowed from you.

I know you are, but the fact is that that "8" wasn't invented by me. It's the way we (over here) are taught to write one.

I'm just looking at my 4 at the moment. It looks like a cactus throwing a javelin.

I'm not insane, just got a vivid imagination.

I dont put the bar in 7 but to make it easier to distinguish from the 1, the one in just a simple vertical line.
This is also pretty minimalist in terms of how quick it allows me to write numbers.

I put a bar at the bottom of my 1's, like the computer. This is two distinguish them from lower-case L's. It's just that when I write quickly the bar isn't at the VERY bottom.

I am personally proud of my t's . I write them fast enough that my pen ends up staying on the paper the entire time. They are essentially my and's upside down.
