My 5s are apparently unreadable for most people. Whenever someone asks me what that sign or letter is on anything I wrote I will say it's a 5 without looking. They'll say how I didn't even look. But it's always correct.
I’d like to see too. My 5’s look like S’s so usually people can’t discern it when I write the number in writing.
Posted my fives as a reply to another comment if you want to check them out. Apparently they are 5 out of 10.
Yeah they’re a 5/10. They’re better than mine though, but I can somewhat see how someone may not know what your 5 is (emphasis on somewhat).
I draw the "top" of my 5's with a separate line to help avoid this. Also I cross my 7's and Z's. If it's just a jumble of alphanumeric characters, I'll cross the 0's and add the serif to 1's.
Same, I can't write a 5 in one smooth motion, when I try to it ends up looking like an S.
Ever since I was a kid, I've had trouble with 8s. To the point that the bottom part comes back together on the right side so it looks like a 9.
When I was little and learning how to write numbers, my grandma said my 8s looked. "sickly".
Somethings never change.
Not same diff at all
The erasing can be reversed with cold
Don't write secrets in erasable ink
It's neat for writing fun secret messages. Just hold it above your stove or other heat source to easily erase the entire page, then have the recipient put it in the freezer a bit.
But yeah, don't write anything too important.
They are so freaking good. I can't just write the letters in the right orders for the life of me
Then I try to erase the whole word and rewrite it, but you can still see the D after I erase it so it looks even worse
Who writes TODAY in All capitals on paper?
What happens more often is my sloppy 6 and 0 look too similar.
I've picked up a habit to (sometimes) write in all caps. On the flipside, I've picked up some strategies to differentiate letters and numbers from each other:
l
.|>
Ƶ
), but it usually doesn't need it to differentiate from 2
Wait till you are old (or rich, or qualified) enough for don't give a fuck about weird looking letters.
I'm likely past the mid point of my life and still waiting for the day when I wake to find myself imbued with this sort of audacious level of confidence.
This extends to every day life... minor mishap? Nah fam... let's introduce life ruining quest paths... what the F is wrong with me?
The second one actually does read easier, and that’s because with characters it’s the thought that counts
