@feliksThis reminds us of our time in IT where some people would underline letters which were meant to be capitalized and others would underline only letters which resembled numbers, so I would capitalize them and not understand why the password didn't work.Another example of humanity not coming to a consensus? The meaning of bi-weekly.

@feliks Well, this is not accurate. The slash line in the slashed zero stays within the boundaries of the 0.

@feliks don't. I was taught to slash sevens to distinguish them from ones, eventually I realized I have never confused a 1 with 7, but when written quickly a slashed 7 can be confused with a 4.

@feliks This reminds me of the fact that I realized in college that I dashed my Zs to distinguish them from 2s, but I also dashed by 2s.

@feliks this is why you dot your zeroes, rather than slashing themalso i thought slashed Os were a symbol for diameter?

@feliks True, but, the last time I saw anyone use the slashed O was in the 1970s.

@feliks Wheee...."IBM (and a few other early mainframe makers) used a convention in which the letter O had a slash and the digit 0 did not.[15] This is even more problematic for Danes, Faroese, and Norwegians because it means two of their letters—the O and slashed O (Ø)—are visually similar.This was later flipped and most mainframe chain or band printers used the opposite convention (letter O printed as is, and digit zero printed with a slash Ø). This was the de facto standard from 1970s to 1990s."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashed_zero

@feliks here's the FE-Schrift of german numberplates. It's Intentionally constructed to be hard to spoof and to be machine readable.Notice the "negative slash" at zero.The seven is not slashed.https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/FE-Schrift
