I do, but dependent upon context. If there is no risk of confusion with a capital I or lower-case l (though I tend to write the latter with a slight rightward curve at the bottom), then yeah, it’s just a basic vertical line.
This is a thousand percent more than I thought I’d ever write about my penmanship. Welp.
My underlined 1s look like my 2s when I write with a marker. It’s a problem I didn’t antisipate that arose when I was trying to distinguish my 1s from my Is and ls.
If they curved the tick instead of some angled dash nonsense there would be no mistake. Thus an angled top on a 1, rather than curved, should be a punishable offense
I switched to the middle one because I couldn’t tell my sevens from my ones 😅
Does no one write their 1 as a simple line down?
I do, but then it’s too easy to confuse with absolute value. Beats confusing it with 7 though
Only when writing binary or truth tables.
1 do, buy sometimes it can be important to make sure you mean I and not 1 (and definitely not l) if you’re writing a code of some kind.

Underline your danged ones.

But why not cross the seven instead?
But they’re not phasors.
Same here 😄
You’ll change your tune when your work forces you to regularly write nonsensical combinations of letters and numbers.
?
The meme is specifically calling out why the seven slash exists. It’s very possible to confuse the two with sloppy writing.
I think what snor is saying is that the “hatted” 1 prevents mistaking it for an I when there are numerals and letters in the same context.
