Poll: How do you write letter/number "x"?

SO we need a bigger poll..

7's Crossed or not
4's Opened or Closed at the top
2's with a look at the bottom or a point
0's crossed or not

Any other numbers that could be done different ways?
 
I cross my sevens, zees, and the only thing that sometimes gets me is ess and fives. When I have exponent of 5s, sometimes that becomes in error during the calculation and changes to 55 or ss.
 
7s yes zeros only when I know someone else needs to read and understand that they are zeros and not O
 
I dont cross my 7's, but I do cross my "z". Dont slash my 0, and I selectively write my 1's correctly.

I have a habit of crossing my z's because I do alot of stuff with Z-transforms, and it gets really confusing when you start throwing 2's and z's into equations.

Likewise, I usually write my 1 as just a straight line. If I need to write an L in the equation, I either make it caps, or script lowercase.
