The number 7...

[Zopperoni]

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 read that last sentence 10 times, and I still can't figure it out

[Zopperoni]

Try again =)

It's ok. It's not like I hold it against you.

i don't normally use the bar, though i often put the serif on my 't.'

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.

[Dauphin]

I don't have a scanner but this is pretty close to the mark of my handwritten 4.

[Skanky Burns]

My vote is with insane.

Ariba ariba, its a posse of javalin throwing cactus!

7with a bar. My handwriting is not bad, but only if I take my time.

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.
