7

I never used to, then one day I started doing it and have done so ever since.

I'm fairly certain crossed sevens aren't common in the US (outside of technical writing). I know I was never taught to cross sevens in penmanship classes in kindergarten (or whenever).

I picked it up in college science labs, I think. Along with slashing zeros. I tend to cross and slash instinctively now if the situation warrants it but I won't do it for "everyday" handwriting (eg standard correspondences or notes).

you know i think i was so bad at printing the way the teacher wanted it back then cause i'm left handed.. i mean i print my j's completely different but they're still readable

i'm trying to more and more now, just in case the seven looks like an extreme number one

what sort of crazed mind would cross a 7? Seriously? Put it this way, if you were receiving a bj you wouldn't cross the 7. If you where writing multiple sevens in a desperate attempt to save someones life and it was against the clock, you wouldn't cross your sevens. If you were stuck in restaurant toilet, severely constipated and crying out in agony, you wouldn't cross your sevens as you wrote your phone number on the back of a napkin for an attractive waitress with a heart of gold. I rest my case.

lmao

youre in a bomb disposal unit. Do you cross the sevens George?

No, in fact I would uncross my wires.

What if you have to cross wire 7?

its always the green wire. That's all i ever need to know.

Wow when I was thinking about what I was writing I saw it as the green wire as well. I'm confident in my mission now. Thanks muscles.

lol me too, swear to god...

Lol, that is odd

Wire 3 is always red right?

The worst part about it always being the green wire (and it is, always) is that red light only penetrates about 15 meters below the surface of the water. So if you have to free dive about 50 feet to defuse a bomb, which you will inevitably have to do, the red wire and green wire will be nigh-on indistinguishable. Life's a fucking bitch.

Shit

I can't swim

Then we're fucked.

oh fucking hell

<---this one: in my previous job, if someone wrote a sloppy 7 or any other number for that matter, some unlucky babby could be unformed!! Since then, my 7's are crossed, my 9's are straight, my 1's are just a line, etc.

No. Started crossing my z's a few years back because they looked too much like my 2's though.

Also LOL@Rambo's post.
