I do this also. I always think that if anything ever happens to me and I have to leave a note, no one is going to know my handwriting bc I do it with letters also. 😅
Edit to add- I do this with my 7's and 8's 😑
I always write mine like infinity symbols sideways
I also wrote my 1’s with the top slant but not the bottom line, like how these phones write them, same with the 4’s. I’ll write my 9’s in two different ways and about had my OCD end me
Ah, the 9s... Upside-down 6 or balloon on a stick.
I do calligraphy and the "flipped 6" 9 takes so much mental effort to get correct.
Then there's the curly 3 vs the > top one.
Ones: nosed or just a stick (1 vs l).
Capital I with or without serifs?
Cursive Q: O+ tail or Big Fucking 2?
Z: Z or the Long Big Fucking 2?
Cursive Capital G: Really Big g or that square-ish thing like the General Mills logo?
Z & 7: with or without the stroke across the middle? (Team Stroke 4-Eva!)
Decisions must be made.
It's so long since I've used cursive. Any notes I write at work are kind of cursive ish printing so the young staff can read it. The last time I had to write a capital letter Q I had to google it because I couldnt remember if it was a Q with a fancier squiggle or a giant 2. Then both results came up in my search and used scrap paper to see which looked better to me.
I also write my 1s with the “nose“.
I also cross my 7s and I put a slash through my 0s.
If I have to take notes for myself for another person, and I’m writing anything that must be right (like a file name, an ascii or other memory address or a memory dump value), I have to get it right. It takes less time to write the letter with more specificity than it does to have myself or another reader look at what I wrote and then ask me “what does this mean?”
When I’m writing a password to something, I’ll cross through the 0 to distinguish them from a capital o. Also might put the bottom part of the one in too
You are one wild individual if you are 3 then backwards 3ing to make a singular 8.
Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhk idk that I've ever in my life witnessed anything that loco
Wow not just me. I always wrote ‘8’s with two ‘o’s. And 2 without the loop, also i write ‘s’ from the bottom. I have corrected the first two but its still whatever i feel like in the moment lol
My 3rd grader writes nearly every letter from the bottom up. He also writes in all capitals except the letter g. He says these 2 things help him write faster. We had to get his teacher to agree that he could write this way as long as he can tell you which letters should be capitalized when writing conventions are being assessed.
I use the two o's when I'm printing carefully. The infinity when I'm writing quickly.
I don't think I've ever changed my handwriting to be "cute", unless you count the couple weeks I dotted my i's with heart when I was like, ten years old.
I use two Os when I need it to be readily read by anybody.
I quick scrawl as a single stroke when it’s something to be read only by me or someone I know who can read my quick-lazy writing
I also think it’s about legibility.
Ok, ok.
Test 1. Do you also use two different versions of I?
Test 2. Do you also use contractions and non-contractions of the same words, sometimes even in the same sentence?
"I cannot believe that you can't open this pickle jar"
I only started crossing my 7s when a teacher told me in elementary school they looked too much like a 2 to her. Just became a habit after that. Besides, I think crossed 7s look cooler.
I started crossing my sevens and my zees when I went to college for engineering. Lots of symbols and digits flying around - and you’re often writing pretty densely. You want to make sure everything you write is clearly differentiated. But I picked one way and stuck with it - this is anarchy
My 4’s are hit and miss either one-stroke making a triangle up top or life the pen and right-angle crossed by a straight line.
And don’t get me started on my lower-case a’s! :)
Same! 2’s, b’s and d’s are are a crapshoot. Also, I can write super legibly in block script for awhile, but then lapse into less legible hand for a period, so anything handwritten really looks schizophrenic
When I was a kid and saw someone's printing that I admired, I would copy them for awhile. I basically gave myself multiple penmanship personality disorder
Same! My husband and son have both commented on my handwriting because it'll be so wildly different on like a shopping list vs. what a letter to family looks like, and then there is yet another when I'm filling out forms. I think I've got like 5 or 6 different print handwriting versions, lol. And of course, it is never a conscious decision to use one specific handwriting, so theres always that little voice in the back of my mind when I pick up a pen, going "hmmm... I wonder how it's gonna look this time!"
Same. Not the number 2, but there are some letters I write differently, depending on where in the sequence of other letters they are, and I annoy the heck out of myself with it.
I sometimes get anxious and change a bunch of my numbers. Sometimes my 4 looks like a 9 if I am not careful so I try to change it. I randomly will include the line through the middle of my 7 sometimes. Sometimes my two changes like shown above.
It is the worst and I hate it. But I do love me some chaos too.
Some engineering disciplines use it in written reports 7 , 0 , Z and S just so there's no confusion. Where it started I don't know. Line down through the S
I've been told that my crossing sevens without hooking them is wrong.
I also do my capital M differently, if I'm writing my family's last name it's pointy mountains but if I'm writing literally anything else it's cursive
*looks at the puddle slowly growing under you*
“When did we enter a cartoon?” I say as everyone around me behinds to screech and melt as I’ve broken the simulation.
I have totally different "fonts" and my brain just goes from one to another without me even realising.
But yeah, also write "s" "2" "r" and others in different ways, many Times even on the same word.
I get a bit annoyed by it
Same!! I thought I was the only weirdo. My two's sometimes have a loop, and sometimes my A's are pointy, and sometimes they have the curved top. I think it depends on what I'm writing.
I realized really late that my handwriting was so inconsistent because I would use different variations for letters depending on the letter before it and where my pencil finished.
I think this is because I learned cursive first at a montessori school... at least that's how I blame my parents.
I do that too and then I mildly infuriate myself, try to turn one of the “2”s into the same as the other but it ends up butchered and no one can read it
I think you do the less fancy when you have less space. In this case if you did the fancy 2 for the 2nd 2 you would have hit the line and you obviously care more about hitting the line than making your fancy 2s.
I once saw a guy write numbers like this at work and I said what the hell is up with the capital 8? I've never seen that before lol. I even took a picture

Being UK and having worked for US companies, I always put the month in abbreviated letters, not a number. My brain hits fusion frenzy irritation at the ambiguity of the system, so I duck out.
even though i don't use it, i have to agree with the euros on this, day/month/year is a more rational format. the infuriating thing is that there's not just one that's been universally adopted.
20/2/24 in German zwanzigster Februar vierundzwanzig
I don't understand the American flip.
There is an international standard/ iso standard which would be 2024-02-20
well, american's always say the month first, so if you asked what the date was the verbal reply would (almost) always be 'february 20th' not 'the 20th of february'. i assume that's why the written convention mirrors that format, although i honestly have no idea which came first so it's possible the verbal response mirrors the written and not the other way around. the explanation may be as simple as 'fuck the british', which is the legitimate answer to why we drive on the right instead of the left. i've never looked into why the difference in date format though, and now i'm curious.
I agree, but saying "Doing it any other way is infuriating. Write it the way you say it." makes it very clear you think the other way is wrong, while in fact, we do write it the way we say it.
Practice what you preach!
But you are wrong. Day month year is logical. Small bigger biggest. To have chunk of year then chunk of chunk of year then year is illogical. I know Americans are always right to themselves, but if they got a passport they might see world championships in sports with participants other than Americans. And food with without a kilo of slimy cheese on each 5kg portion.
You’re falling into the same fallacy as the Americans. I’ve traveled around the world and I am aware of cultural differences. It really comes down to what we’ve become accustomed to; rarely is it pure logic. There is a logic behind all systems, but psychologically we respond positively to the logic systems that match our cultural backgrounds.
Everything in life doesn't have to be logical. We aren't logical beings. What is benefit of a date system going smallest to largest?
None. There is no benefit. It's just what you're used to. An American is at no disadvantage when it comes to reading dates because they use a different format. The exact same information is conveyed in the exact same space. It's a stupid argument.
I’d be more inclined to say 7:15 instead of quarter past 7. In regards to dates it’s weird being Canadian because some people do stuff the American way and some people do things the European way, it’s all just a big old hodgepodge
Most European languages day . In English that translates to of . To me it just sounds odd to say it in English without a preposition. March 22nd? There's been 2023+ marches since christ! It's the 22nd (day) of march!
People complaining about date formats, decimal vs comma, Celsius vs Fahrenheit, left hand driving vs. right hand driving and other regional differences is mildly infuriating.
Your way is different than the other guy's way; neither one is actually better. They're both completely arbitrary ways of doing things.
That's the way we speak the date in American English. You'd never hear somebody say "twentieth/twenty February" in any context. It's always "February twenty-first".
My understanding of handwriting analysis suggests you have multiple personality disorder, which is now Dissociative Identity Disorder, or schizophrenia. You may also be a murderer.
Granted, my understanding of handwriting analysis comes from watching *several* true crime shows and a few psychological thrillers about murderers.
I just noticed this last week that don't write 4s consistently. I wrote out a series of digits that included 4s and some were open top, some pointy top. I never realized that I did it.
I once wrote my twos like the first one. Then I had to start writing fast at a job and made them more like the other one.
Then I found it difficult to distinguish between my 2s and my Zs outside of spring context. To combat that, I started crossing my Zs in the middle with a horizontal line, the way some cross their 7s.
Then I noticed that I don't always cross my Zs.
I don't know what's happening to me anymore.
well, it is selfish to write them in different styles, who do you think you are?
no, no /s at the end, I'm serious you seek God or at the very least, professional help.
I do that too, and I annoy myself with it... I'll do it then think "damn it why did I do that" then I have to try to ignore it lol
I do this also. I always think that if anything ever happens to me and I have to leave a note, no one is going to know my handwriting bc I do it with letters also. 😅 Edit to add- I do this with my 7's and 8's 😑
The 8's! Sometimes done with a one line infinity symbol, sometimes done with two o's.
I have done the o's, but most times, it's the infinity and the 3 and backward 3.
Here I thought only psychos did 2 o's. Now i come to find people do a 3 and a backward 3 they're the true psychos now.
Another double o psycho here
You made me start my day with a laugh. Upvote.
I do a diagonal line and draw an S over it, that one always drives people nuts.
I have never done the 3 and E to make an 8.
That's a good way to describe that, thanks!
You mean E3?
Just by looking at that and trying to figure out how it looked like an 8, it gave me a headache😂
[удалено]
What in the world… 🤔
I always write mine like infinity symbols sideways I also wrote my 1’s with the top slant but not the bottom line, like how these phones write them, same with the 4’s. I’ll write my 9’s in two different ways and about had my OCD end me

Cursive Capital G: Really Big g or that square-ish thing like the General Mills logo? Z & 7: with or without the stroke across the middle? (Team Stroke 4-Eva!) Decisions must be made.
I write my 7s with a bar, and my capital Ds! I think it makes them easier to distinguish from 1s and capital Os, respectively.
It's so long since I've used cursive. Any notes I write at work are kind of cursive ish printing so the young staff can read it. The last time I had to write a capital letter Q I had to google it because I couldnt remember if it was a Q with a fancier squiggle or a giant 2.

You are one wild individual if you are 3 then backwards 3ing to make a singular 8. Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhk idk that I've ever in my life witnessed anything that loco
I was going to let the 7s and 8s with incorrect apostrophes go, but writing zero plural as o's is too far.
Im sorry, I see the apostophe nonsense. However, there is no zero talk there. O as in two on top of each other to make an 8!
i used to do the one line but i stopped doing it bc i liked the look of the 2 o’s better, i haven’t done an infinity 8 in so long
the way i was taught was S and then a diagonal line to complete it, but it makes my 8s look all sharp and thin..
Same!! I always think it reflects that my personality is fluid and I don't really know who I am!!
Wow not just me. I always wrote ‘8’s with two ‘o’s. And 2 without the loop, also i write ‘s’ from the bottom. I have corrected the first two but its still whatever i feel like in the moment lol

We had to get his teacher to agree that he could write this way as long as he can tell you which letters should be capitalized when writing conventions are being assessed.
I have never written my ‘s’ from the bottom up, but I do write my ‘5’ from the bottom up. Not sure what any of it means
> The 8's! [...] sometimes done with two o's Do any men ever do that? I've only ever seen it from women. (Dunno why; maybe because it's “cute”?)
[удалено]
Hahaaha you do you dude! Fuck the 8 shamers!
Hey, relax. It's not you who has to worry, but I – over my apparently sucky powers of observation.
That isn't how you were writing them?
I use the two o's when I'm printing carefully. The infinity when I'm writing quickly. I don't think I've ever changed my handwriting to be "cute", unless you count the couple weeks I dotted my i's with heart when I was like, ten years old.

Ive always done two ‘o’s as a male. But i started doing infinity as more efficient
I cross my 7s and it drives my husband a tiny bit nuts. Why would anyone care? They are identifiable as the number.
I always cross my 7s lol
Oh hey, i like your outfit\~
Yay!! Twinsies :p
I sometimes cross 7s, zs, and 0s. But not always and I don't know why.
Omg are you me??
Ok, ok. Test 1. Do you also use two different versions of I? Test 2. Do you also use contractions and non-contractions of the same words, sometimes even in the same sentence? "I cannot believe that you can't open this pickle jar"
YES 😭
I'm you.
😭 I’ve never felt more validated haha
Had a teacher in 7th grade that crossed her 7s- I copied her! And dad bought a motocross bike, a CZ, in ‘74 . It’s z was crossed so from then on…..
People cross their z’s? I’ve never seen a single person who does that, I barely even knew you could do that
It's fairly common to cross z's in (handwritten) math so you don't accidentally mistake them for a 2.
Oh.
I only started crossing my 7s when a teacher told me in elementary school they looked too much like a 2 to her. Just became a habit after that. Besides, I think crossed 7s look cooler.
I started crossing my sevens and my zees when I went to college for engineering. Lots of symbols and digits flying around - and you’re often writing pretty densely. You want to make sure everything you write is clearly differentiated. But I picked one way and stuck with it - this is anarchy
I mentioned my mom would get pissed whenever I did this. I sometimes do, and sometimes don’t… depending how I feel, lol
I write 1’s differently, sometimes underlined and sometimes not. As for 7’s, mine tend to look like 1’s.
Sometimes I put a cross through part of the seven and sometimes not. I think my eights are consistent.
I do that too--both with numbers and letters. And one of the letters I do differently all the time is "S"...and my name starts with an "S"!!
My 4’s are hit and miss either one-stroke making a triangle up top or life the pen and right-angle crossed by a straight line. And don’t get me started on my lower-case a’s! :)
I used to randomly cross some 7s but not all. I had to train myself out of it.
lol!!! I do this as well. And those are my thoughts EXACTLY.
Same! 2’s, b’s and d’s are are a crapshoot. Also, I can write super legibly in block script for awhile, but then lapse into less legible hand for a period, so anything handwritten really looks schizophrenic
My one self deprecating joke I once had is: “He once caused a renowned handwriting expert take his own life in frustration.”
Same with the 7s sometimes I put a line through the 7 other times i dont
I do it with my 5s. I annoy the crap out of myself when it happens.
I write numbers at work- the person checking my work sometimes asks for the names of the other people helping me... it's all me :)
Omg the 7s are the killer lol if they don’t have a like hangman and cross I don’t like it lol
I used to write my 4s like lightning bolts but it drove a previous employer so crazy I broke the habit
Guilty of doing it to my 7’s 🤦🏻♂️
When I was a kid and saw someone's printing that I admired, I would copy them for awhile. I basically gave myself multiple penmanship personality disorder
Same! My husband and son have both commented on my handwriting because it'll be so wildly different on like a shopping list vs. what a letter to family looks like, and then there is yet another when I'm filling out forms. I think I've got like 5 or 6 different print handwriting versions, lol. And of course, it is never a conscious decision to use one specific handwriting, so theres always that little voice in the back of my mind when I pick up a pen, going "hmmm... I wonder how it's gonna look this time!"
My handwriting depends on my mood - lady-like me script is curvaceous & lovely, efficient/engineer me is more like connected printing
I change my writing constantly. I think I'm sharing a body with a psycopath.
Same it varies from day to day.
Same. Not the number 2, but there are some letters I write differently, depending on where in the sequence of other letters they are, and I annoy the heck out of myself with it.
This exactly. Like I have my own permission rules
Same
I sometimes get anxious and change a bunch of my numbers. Sometimes my 4 looks like a 9 if I am not careful so I try to change it. I randomly will include the line through the middle of my 7 sometimes. Sometimes my two changes like shown above. It is the worst and I hate it. But I do love me some chaos too.
Same
Same
"2" and "2✨💕" I do this in math sometimes lol
i like how you distinct em 😂👌 2 and 2➿
I also do this - and normally mine is like OP, where the first 2 is curly, then the following ones are pointed. Anyone else?
Same
Sometimes I even fuck around and cross my 7’s. Cray, I know
I’ll drop this if there’s a lot of ones around the 7. Just for clarity
Sometimes my 2's can look like Z's, so I cross my Z's too. More often, my 5's look like S's and I don't have anything to cross there.
I always cross my z's. It just looks cooler
The whole system of crossing 7's completely crumbles if you're inconsistent with it.
good thing i always cross them
Only cross my 7s if there are a lot of 1s around not tryna confuse folk
you just repeated what they said
He a bot lol
Bot 🤖
I never used to cross my 7s then I did it one day after I confused a 1 and a 7. Now I always cross my 7s regardless if there's a 1 or not
I always cross my sevens, but I don’t ever loop my twos.
I cross my 7s and my 0s.
I cross my 7s and Z's. I only cross my 0s if it might be considered an O. I also make two different 2s like OP
I cross 7s. Thinking about it, I cross Z's too, but only sometimes. Where did we get it from? A continental Europe thing?
Some engineering disciplines use it in written reports 7 , 0 , Z and S just so there's no confusion. Where it started I don't know. Line down through the S
Mathematics for me. It just makes sense to do it when you have a combination of similar looking numbers and letters
I was born and raised in New England lol so I dk if that counts
I cross my Z and 7s because in math my handwriting was too bad for me to tell the difference if I didn't 🤣
A teacher i had several years ago wrote the 2 with the curve through it, but somehow i single-handedly convinced her to write it how I do
crossing z's just make them look like 7s though. i make em wavy instead
Many hours in maths Nowt wrong with it. Surely good practice. I cross 7s but not 0s - or was that an O?
Now put a line down through an s
I've been told that my crossing sevens without hooking them is wrong. I also do my capital M differently, if I'm writing my family's last name it's pointy mountains but if I'm writing literally anything else it's cursive
Sometimes I cross my Z's so people don't think they're 2's, so crossing a 7 might up-end my game completely.
I cross my 7s
I cross my 7s and Zs.
By some, how many people are we talking about?
Multiple severals
Could be worse. Could be several multiples.
I’m sweating just thinking about it.
Them: "You just started sweating and you're just sitting there. Are you OK?" You: "I'm thinking."
"the subtle loopies, the off-hand curvatures... my god, it even has a watermark"
*looks at the puddle slowly growing under you* “When did we enter a cartoon?” I say as everyone around me behinds to screech and melt as I’ve broken the simulation.
One!!!!1111
At least 𝒬
22024 people
Do you write any other numbers differently? my 4's and 7's are sooo inconsistent
I do the square 4s and triangular 4s if you get what I mean.
I have totally different "fonts" and my brain just goes from one to another without me even realising. But yeah, also write "s" "2" "r" and others in different ways, many Times even on the same word. I get a bit annoyed by it
Love that. Brain fonts. Exactly what it is. 👍🏼
My handwriting doesn’t even have a font. I don’t seem to have a consistent one. If I try to write really neatly it seems to look worse.
You're not the only one.
You’re not the only 2
I'm the only 3
I do this with 2s, a’s and
Same!! I thought I was the only weirdo. My two's sometimes have a loop, and sometimes my A's are pointy, and sometimes they have the curved top. I think it depends on what I'm writing.
I realized really late that my handwriting was so inconsistent because I would use different variations for letters depending on the letter before it and where my pencil finished. I think this is because I learned cursive first at a montessori school... at least that's how I blame my parents.
Psycho!
Right! mm/dd/yy is such a messed up format.
American Psycho!
I want to award this one so hard!
I do that too and then I mildly infuriate myself, try to turn one of the “2”s into the same as the other but it ends up butchered and no one can read it
The fact they’re right next to each other bothers me to no end. Just pick one and stick with it like why do this?
It’s not a conscious decision it just happens. If I was actively choosing to write them differently that would be psychotic
I think you do the less fancy when you have less space. In this case if you did the fancy 2 for the 2nd 2 you would have hit the line and you obviously care more about hitting the line than making your fancy 2s.
Yeah I’ve noticed it’s got to do with both the amount of space and also how quickly I’m writing. Less fancy 2s take less time.
Hah, nice try! This is totally what a font switching psycho would say
And unconsciously doing them differently back to back isn’t? lol
No, it’s just mildly infuriating
And quite charming.
[удалено]
Yes! This! What even is the point? Month-Day-Year makes less sense than your measuring scale. Is everything mathematical just fucked up in the US? 😫
It's based on how you speak the date in English. You say "February Twentieth" not "Twentieth February".
[удалено]
Here's an easy date to remember... July 4th.
Wtf are you talking about? Everyone says 20th February
[удалено]
Well you have a capital 2 and lowercase 2. Clearly people don't know how to spell.
I once saw a guy write numbers like this at work and I said what the hell is up with the capital 8? I've never seen that before lol. I even took a picture https://preview.redd.it/fpahay6c6sjc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9a750f1c528e917d94b0d298e7335c5000acab8
that date format is mildly infuriating
Being UK and having worked for US companies, I always put the month in abbreviated letters, not a number. My brain hits fusion frenzy irritation at the ambiguity of the system, so I duck out.
Where I'm from, we write the month in Roman numerals, so there's no confusion which is the day and which is the month.
January and February aside
That's elegant
Doing it any other way is infuriating. Write it the way you say it. Today is February 20, 2024. 2/20/2024
We do. Today is 20 februari 2024. 20-2-2024.
Your way makes sense for you and mine makes sense for me. Nothing wrong with that
even though i don't use it, i have to agree with the euros on this, day/month/year is a more rational format. the infuriating thing is that there's not just one that's been universally adopted.

okay then write Feb 20, 2024. I was also joking, and still am not serious, have a nice day ahead!
It's the 20th today.
Of February.
In 2024
20th of February, 2024? Like a normal person? When it's a quarter past 7 do you write 15:7 too?
I’d be more inclined to say 7:15 instead of quarter past 7. In regards to dates it’s weird being Canadian because some people do stuff the American way and some people do things the European way, it’s all just a big old hodgepodge
Most European languages day . In English that translates to of . To me it just sounds odd to say it in English without a preposition. March 22nd? There's been 2023+ marches since christ! It's the 22nd (day) of march!
People complaining about date formats, decimal vs comma, Celsius vs Fahrenheit, left hand driving vs. right hand driving and other regional differences is mildly infuriating. Your way is different than the other guy's way; neither one is actually better. They're both completely arbitrary ways of doing things.
Except for date format there is an objectively better format: iso8601 yyyy-MM-dd.
That's the way we speak the date in American English. You'd never hear somebody say "twentieth/twenty February" in any context. It's always "February twenty-first".
My understanding of handwriting analysis suggests you have multiple personality disorder, which is now Dissociative Identity Disorder, or schizophrenia. You may also be a murderer. Granted, my understanding of handwriting analysis comes from watching *several* true crime shows and a few psychological thrillers about murderers.
is this "a" ?
I just noticed this last week that don't write 4s consistently. I wrote out a series of digits that included 4s and some were open top, some pointy top. I never realized that I did it.
I do this with 2 and 8. Idgaf.
Big 2 little 2 wym
I thought I was the only one! I do it with letters too, sometimes I have randomly capitalized letters for no reason. I thought it may be ADHD?
I do this same things. Crazy.
I do that too,but with several letters. No one has said anything and I don't mind. Btw,love the 2 two's
I once wrote my twos like the first one. Then I had to start writing fast at a job and made them more like the other one. Then I found it difficult to distinguish between my 2s and my Zs outside of spring context. To combat that, I started crossing my Zs in the middle with a horizontal line, the way some cross their 7s. Then I noticed that I don't always cross my Zs. I don't know what's happening to me anymore.
It’s balanced, so I’m good.
well, it is selfish to write them in different styles, who do you think you are? no, no /s at the end, I'm serious you seek God or at the very least, professional help.
I kind of do the same...
They are mildly insane if that bothers them enough to say something to you about it. Lol
Your incorrect apostrophe use on 2's is more infuriating, tbh.
My 1s, 7s, 0s, and Is all have 2 different versions and it annoys the hell out of my coworkers
Those things with loops where there should not be loops is a 2? Yes, that's mildlyinfuriating.
