@mer @snacks nobody ever talks or thinks about this but there's two cases where this can cause severe issues: international shipments with handwritten labels, and machine learning text recognition

@lucy @snacks which one is french and which one is european? I've seen mixes of the 1 and 7 styles used by different people
the bottom 469 just look like the elementary school kind when kids copy printed numbers before they have to write them out a lot of time over their life

@lucy @snacks I had a formative moment with a 7 and a 1 being confused at some point so I always write the barred seven, I'll write the simpler one to save time tho

@lucy @snacks i find it silly, never knew that difference is regional, always thought it just variation of the font/handwriting quirks, like different styles of writing letter g or symbol &
