Yes. We're better than you.

I used to use the slash on 7s when I was in Jr high because it was legit and nobody did it.
But, like… Why? What purpose does it serve? It’s not like the slash through a 0 to differentiate it from an O.
kboy101222, My 7s and 1s look too similar without it, to the point it was affecting my math grades. This was sixth grade. I’ve done it ever since
Kolanaki, We always were forced to use the foot on the 1 so I never even thought of that. 😮
VikingHippie, (edited ) 🎵 You used the serif! but you didn’t use no deputy!
kboy101222, I’m now calling the line through my 7s the deputy
VikingHippie, I wholeheartedly endorse this course of action 😁
Lorindol, In my country the slashed 7 became mandatory in the national curriculum in the 1930’s. Our military strongly requested this in order to achieve better accuracy in artillery fire control - in those days every calculation was done by hand and mixing 1’s and 7’s could easily have deadly results.
This practice was quickly adopted by the whole population and it was a great success with no drawbacks. The slashed 7 makes it impossible to mix 1’s and 7’s, therefore it is the superior choice.
ChaoticNeutralCzech, (edited ) I write numbers like my favorite fonts do. ᛐ, not ᛁ. ４, not 丩. Something like ㇋/ℨ/Ჳ, not З. And 7, not 7̵.
Sotuanduso, I write “a” as shown here.
ChaoticNeutralCzech, Me too
ansis, It’s like it’s wearing a bow-tie 🤵

SirStumps, 
That’s just 7 with extra steps.

The worst is I and l.
merc, In Yurp, the top one is a 1.
yamanii, 
Shame that software always registered my dashed seven as a 1 because you can’t lift the pen
Tb0n3, I don’t need to do that because my 7s are distinct from my 1s. That’s right. I’m better than you.
Isoprenoid, You think your 7s are distinct from your ones.
I know that my 7s are distinct from my ones.
We are not the same.
Sotuanduso, My 7s are distinct from my 1s because I write them like this:
The flag on the 1 stretches down to the bottom, and the 7 is crossed.
guiguinofake, ∆7
Sotuanduso, ∆7 = 0.
Solved it. Next question?
uis, 
Sotuanduso, What did I just watch?
Kase, Nah man, your 1 looks exactly like a 7. And your 7 just looks like an upside down V.

Of course we are better than Computers! Who the hell write seven as 7 anyway
NigelFrobisher, This is the reason why ChatGPT keeps asking people where the nuclear codes are kept.
