I used to use the slash on 7s when I was in Jr high because it was legit and nobody did it.

But, like... Why? What purpose does it serve? It's not like the slash through a 0 to differentiate it from an O.

My 7s and 1s look too similar without it, to the point it was affecting my math grades. This was sixth grade. I've done it ever since

We always were forced to use the foot on the 1 so I never even thought of that. 😮
