You draw sevens with a small bar in the middle because it looks better.

I draw sevens with a small bar in the middle because I have the handwriting of a goblin and my ones and sevens often look similar otherwise

We are not the same

It's more about making it not mistakable for a 1.

Yeah it's important for me because I have shit handwriting. I also draw zeroes with a bar in the middle because one of my college teachers used to subtract 1 point on tests for every zero with no bar.

We all hated that but tbh I'm glad I have that good practice ingrained in my brain now because I can't accidentally mix up 0 and O

I write French sevens because it pissed off all the managers at the IRS.
