My 5s are apparently unreadable for most people. Whenever someone asks me what that sign or letter is on anything I wrote I will say it's a 5 without looking. They'll say how I didn't even look. But it's always correct.

Your 5 is just a fucked up b, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, it's a 5. Idk why people don't see it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

attach pic of your 5 and let lemmy judge

yeah kinda messy I rate 5/10

here's my suggestion for making it less ambiguous

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's still a 5 out of 10 though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

anyways why does lemmy rotate our images without our consent?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Outrageous isn't it.

Good lord finally someone with legible writing

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

I think that's perfectly readable. My 5 just looks like an upside down L.

I’d like to see too. My 5’s look like S’s so usually people can’t discern it when I write the number in writing.

Posted my fives as a reply to another comment if you want to check them out. Apparently they are 5 out of 10.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah they’re a 5/10. They’re better than mine though, but I can somewhat see how someone may not know what your 5 is (emphasis on somewhat).

I draw the "top" of my 5's with a separate line to help avoid this. Also I cross my 7's and Z's. If it's just a jumble of alphanumeric characters, I'll cross the 0's and add the serif to 1's.

Missed opportunity for "5ame"

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

My 5 wears the top line like a floating hat. It's frustrating even to myself

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

Same, I can't write a 5 in one smooth motion, when I try to it ends up looking like an S.

I went to Bangor, A55!
