Yea, same for me:

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.

The easy way: Without a bar

The bar is getting really annoying

With the bar, NATURALLY.

Handwritten,
- the horizontal bar of my 2 looks more like a ~
- my 4 is an H without the upperright and lowerleft vertical bars
- my 7 has a horizontal bar while the upper horizontal bar is slightly curved
- my 8 looks more like an upside down &

I made a scan of all my numbers and lower case letters:

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.

i use the bar

see for yourself...

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.

with bar, naturally

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.

There is nothing wrong with my "8".

[Pekka]

Yes there is

[Kuciwalker]

without the bar, because otherwise it would get mixed up with my 1's

I also put bars on my z's, and write my a's like the computer does

[Main_Brain]

crappy Handwriting forcing me to Bar it ;=)
