    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.

      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.

      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.
