South Freo being the televised WAFL game. Going from one of the clubs best ever wins into watching the mighty doggies.

Did someone mention the mighty Doggies?

I carry around a notebook and always date my notes, e.g. "03/07".

I cross my zeroes (Ø) and sevens (7), and I get very excited when something like the 7th of July comes up in a few days (Ø7/Ø7).

I’ve kept a diary for more than 20 years.

It's cool writing the date on the board at school when it's an interesting date.

Every single year without fail when it's my birthday I accidentally write my year of birth instead of the current year. The class are like "WTF?".

I cross my 7s and Zs but not my 0s.

i only cross my zeroes (so as to not confuse them with Os)

Ozzy Osborne fan?

 

[cats_09]

I cross my 7s, but don't normally cross 0s

I work with colleagues of different ages which makes it fun with the different ways of writing things. One day (not long ago) I was hand writing a licence plate that had both O & 0 in it, and to differentiate them I crossed the Ø - my Gen Z teammate looked at the Ø and asked what it meant

The whole concept of crossing a zero was foreign to them

Nah I used to do calligraphy (nerd alert) and now my handwriting has all kinds of flourishes.



Eg my r looks like and my s looks like

I write in cursive too, my first three years of school were spread across three states with three different ways to teach handwriting so I ended up going my own way. Your handwriting will be much better than mine though.

Do you put a hook on your ones? Ie, 1 or l ?

I’m happy to see our canola crop germinating after bugger all rain

Most of the time - but I'm inconsistent on that one.

That's what I'm trying to do. Good way to decompress.

HyTTec or another variety?

HyTTec or another variety?

No idea, I just provide the land and let the “real farmer” do his thing. All I know is last time we had canola was the last time the farmer made any decent money as the crop was good and the price for canola was excellent. I’m trying to look into growing agave on my property for making Australian tequila.

 

[Cruyff14]

I have never understood why a 7 needs to be crossed.

 

[Over The Post]

"The "Crossed Seven" is commonly used throughout Europe, but, outside of mathematics, is sporadically used in the United States, and it is not permitted to be written on some inventory tags that are optically read by computers."


When I learned German the explanation was that a hastily-written long-stroke 1 could be mistaken for a 7, hence they use crossed 7s.

There oughta be a law against one campaigner being so talented.

So the farmers don't need the rain after all.
