Why would I put in the extra effort? How much time have I saved by not adding in that extra line in my 40+years of life?
How much more will I save in the next 40+ (less, of course, since computers will be the main source of 7s, whereas most of my 7s in the first 40 were in my youth before computers were commonplace, and I hope I don't live that fucking long)?
depends if you've ever written down a password and misread a seven then you've literally wasted more time by not doing it.
though strike through zero is probably more important for that situation.
Now do you misread a 7? Maybe as a T if you have particularly bad handwriting, but I can’t say I’ve ever had that issue
O and 0, on the other hand… tell me why strikethrough zero isn’t standard in text format yet
Can be misread as a 1, especially in languages that write 1 with a more extended top bit.
Ah, I always write my 1s as just a straight line
Though it does make all my 1s, capital Is, and lowercase ls look the same
