Open fours.

How about 'A's?? Are they Pointed or round?


Or 'eight', is it a flowing 8 with a little dangler or 2 little 'o's on top of each other?

Yes, I cross my 7's. I cross my Z's too. I don't normally cross my zeros, but I will if I'm writing something that is alphanumeric (such as a VIN).

ZV

I will cross a 0 if it could be mistaken as an O. I cross my Zs if I'm working with variables in math. I never cross 7s.

I cross 7s and Zs. I learned it in French class in high school and never lost the habit.
