The number 7...

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.

[Gangerolf]

skywalker, you put a bar through your 1s?? Doesn't that just confuse people? I mean it looks like a 7 w/bar

[Pekka]

Gangerolf, Exactly.. he does two circles, not 8, like it's supposed to be done.. the funny part is where he goes to deny about it

[Immortal Wombat]

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

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.

PS: Zopper's 8 is really cool.

It's his q I'm worried about.

Am I the only person to put a bar in my q BTW?

[Pekka]

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.

[Gangerolf]

I put a bar in my q too. feminine? pffftt

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".

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.

[Zopperoni]

You recognized it as an eight, didn't you? What's your farking problem?

[Pekka]

I did.. but some might not be able to do that.. Oh come on, I'm only pulling your leg and I'm tired .
