I started slashing my 7s and 0s in university; it's just easier to distinguish them thanks to the abundance of Greek letters, symbols, and notations used in engineering. Also my bad printing was further marred by constantly nodding off while taking notes, so anything to improve clarity.

Ya. Math and engineering totally ducked up my handwriting. I mean, it was already pretty bad. But all those other letters didn't help!

ξ fucked me up a lot more than it probably should have...

It's a lowercase Ξ. Glad to be of help.

Ah thanks, was wondering why my rituals didn't conjure anything!

In undergrad we called that tornado because of how our Math Phys professor wrote it.

I spent 10 years in research, slashing your 7's and 0's is absolutely required in data keeping. Every intern/tech I had got the handwriting lesson.

I also change how they wrote capital G after too many "is that a 6 or a G" moments.

[–] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely G's and 2s!

Yep, had enough "2 or Z" moments, started slashing Z's, then I started slashing my 7's for consistency.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Exact same except I didn't go to college and it was 100% because I couldn't read my own writing well enough to distinguish without them.
