In a message on Wednesday 10-31-16 Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:

GE Ed,

EV> Another Letter I make a mark on is Z when I'm making notes to
EV> myself.

EV> Do You mark a Z Character like I do?

No I don't, but I think that in the schools in the fourties, we were
taught to write the Z with a hyphen crossing the middle of the slash
part of the letter.

EV> Sometime back in the 1980's (?) I noticed that some Clerks in the
EV> Stores I frequent would put a small line in the middle of the number
EV> 7 when they wrote on a Receipt.

That was also the way we were taught to write the 7. I ceased to do that
in 1951, because I had learned that a number 7 written that way, was
often interpreted as a number 4.
