I switched to the middle one because I couldn’t tell my sevens from my ones πŸ˜…

Does no one write their 1 as a simple line down?

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

1 do, buy sometimes it can be important to make sure you mean I and not 1 (and definitely not l) if you're writing a code of some kind.

BOO... Γ— IOO + BS

[–] ridethisbike@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm sure some do. But not everyone does. This helps avoid the confusion.

Only when writing binary or truth tables.

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I do, but dependent upon context. If there is no risk of confusion with a capital I or lower-case l (though I tend to write the latter with a slight rightward curve at the bottom), then yeah, it’s just a basic vertical line.

This is a thousand percent more than I thought I’d ever write about my penmanship. Welp.

I make my underline too wide which makes it unsuitable for anything but 1 by itself :(

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

But why not cross the seven instead?

[–] zaphod@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

But they're not phasors.
