The number 7...

[Gangerolf]

...in handwriting,

do you write it with or without a bar through it?


Vote A if you write it like this:

[Gangerolf]

Vote B if you write it like this:

[MrFun]

I write it the normal way -- without the bar through it.

[SlowwHand]

The normal way. A first for you, isn't it?
I also write it, the normal way.

[Gangerolf]

I write it with the bar of course. non-bar 7s tend to piss me off

Luckily, I see far more 7s with bars than without

I'm more normal than other un-named Apolytoners here -- trust me on that.

[Maniac]

I use both depending on my mood.

[MrFun]

Oh dear lord -- now we have moods for how we write numbers??

[Q Classic]

this is a biased thread.

what about


or

VII

?

[MrFun]

or politically incorrect??

[Gangerolf]

how can it be biased when there's a banana option AND an other option

btw, that chinese(?) seven is just an upside down arabic(?) seven with a bar through it

[MrFun]

Isn't there something in United States's constitution, that gives citizens the inalienable right to write the number seven however they want to??

[Gangerolf]

this poll is goin the wrong directiono! how can yo write it without the bar? it looks so... what's teh word... imbesilic.

Based on your own posting, you put a bar through it.

[Dauphin]

I put the bar through my 7.
I put a bar through my z.
I put a loop in the base of my 2.
I write my x like a two c's back to back.
I don't close my 4 at the top.

I do those out of habit because when doing lots of maths it helps to be distinct with your numbers/letters you have written. That said my 4 and my y ended up looking very similar.

Yea, same for me:

[Skanky Burns]

I write numbers a fair bit at work, so it helps to make them look at least slightly different. So a bar throught the 7.

[Adagio]

The easy way: Without a bar

The bar is getting really annoying

[Pekka]

With the bar, NATURALLY.

[Dry]

Handwritten,
- the horizontal bar of my 2 looks more like a ~
- my 4 is an H without the upperright and lowerleft vertical bars
- my 7 has a horizontal bar while the upper horizontal bar is slightly curved
- my 8 looks more like an upside down &

[Zopperoni]

I made a scan of all my numbers and lower case letters:

[Pekka]

Zopperni, you have difficulties writing number 8

I left you food in the fridge. Open the red box, there is FOOD in it. You can HEAT it in the MICROWAVE and eat it. You can call me at any time if you need something, or if you get scared.

[axi]

see for yourself...

[Snotty]

Ive had too many data entry jobs to force non-barred 7s on poor people. Lifes tough enough trying to figure out the demented spider scribble of some people even with bars to clear it up.

[aaglo]

with bar, naturally

[st_swithin]

Hey, the Chinese 7 looks like an inverted Roman 7 with a bar through it.

This post was brought to you by the letters F, U, and by the number 7.

There is nothing wrong with my "8".

[Pekka]

Yes there is

[Kuciwalker]

without the bar, because otherwise it would get mixed up with my 1's

I also put bars on my z's, and write my a's like the computer does

[Main_Brain]

crappy Handwriting forcing me to Bar it ;=)
