    zero and oh!

    Just found myself writing a zero as ∅, again. Does anyone else still do that, or am I a dinosaur?

    I still do it when I use a pen & paper (which isn't very often nowadays).

        I do that but the stroke is more of a backslash because I is a southpaw.

            Nope I still do it too so you're far from a solo dinosaur in that respect

              +1 both zeros and sevens get that treatment from me.

                  Sevens always have with me, but that's how I was taught to do them as a small child, one of my nursery teachers was French. I think I picked up the zero habit about the time of my A levels, bit long ago, I don't find it easy to remember that far back
