In most fonts, zeros are a bit narrower than ohs; 0 vs O. When handwritten in a place where there may be any question as to whether it's a digit or a letter I always put a diagonal slash through the zero.

That makes sense. I wondered about the attempt to make a zero look like an eight.

Now if we can figure out why some like to cross the seven making it look like a dyslexic F.

I've lived in major cities and in small towns and everything in between - I've moved a lot. I much prefer the small towns and use "Countrylife" on most forums I'm on because it's the lifestyle I prefer, but it was already taken on this one. I started out with a Case 220 garden tractor, then went to a Kubota L235, and now have a JD 5055E. Still have all three tractors and they all still work although I don't use the Case much anymore, hence 3Ts being 3 tractors.

It is hard to make a proper zero here.

Military writing to cut down on any confusion between letters & numbers. A 7 with a line in it distinguishes it from a 5 or (in some cases) a 4.

It seems more common in Europe

Yep. Military is where I learned to put a slash in a 0.

Listening to see what's going on?
