Does no one write their 1 as a simple line down?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1 do, buy sometimes it can be important to make sure you mean I and not 1 (and definitely not l) if you're writing a code of some kind.

BOO... × IOO + BS

I do, but then it's too easy to confuse with absolute value. Beats confusing it with 7 though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm sure some do. But not everyone does. This helps avoid the confusion.

Only when writing binary or truth tables.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I do, but dependent upon context. If there is no risk of confusion with a capital I or lower-case l (though I tend to write the latter with a slight rightward curve at the bottom), then yeah, it’s just a basic vertical line.

This is a thousand percent more than I thought I’d ever write about my penmanship. Welp.
