Sorry, I'm left handed and I don't make distinguished mentally-challenged fellow 2s. :-\

yeah but nobody cares about you

Post by: Guybrush Threepwood on June 10, 2009, 09:24:00 PM: I just wrote a bunch of 2s on a piece of paper to test it.

Half the time when I'm writing a "proper" 2, I stop too high and I end up making a loop anyway. When you're trying to write down numbers quickly, I don't see how taking an extra few milliseconds to "properly" write a 2 is worth it.

Post by: fistfulofmetal on June 10, 2009, 09:28:27 PM: don't make excuses because your hands are too distinguished mentally-challenged to write the number two properly

Post by: Bildi on June 10, 2009, 09:42:22 PM: I don't do the loop. I prefer to keep things as manly as possible.

fistful probably already has handwriting samples to discount that, sadly.

A strike through in a 7 :omg

Why?
Title: Re: Who writes their 2's like this?
Post by: Robo on June 11, 2009, 06:01:53 PM: It's to distinguish between it and the number 1 when written with a little hat.

I used to use the serif but I found that it was too haughty for my $10/h 3rd Shift Security Guard job. And I don't know why but that style two looks hilarious too me.

I picked it up when I was doing ledgers by hand. Let me be a little lazier but people could still figure out what I was writing.

Post by: fistfulofmetal on June 12, 2009, 12:56:16 PM: no it doesn't. if your 1's and 7's look the same than you have stupid distinguished mentally-challenged hands. and your handwriting sucks the bag.
