Does anyone else cross their 7s? And their Zs and 0s for that matter?

I've been crossing 7s ever since a 7 was mistaken for a 1 in an order code and someone got a huge plant display instead of a typewriter.
Don't do Zs but noughts are surely a 'must cross' when mixed with Os in a handwritten code number.

I cross my sevens. I also write dates as, for example, 5 Feb 2008 to avoid confusion about whether the first digit of 5/2/08 represents the day or the month.

kewpid: Yes, yes, no. My 9s also look like gs (which doesn't work in this typeface!), a habit I picked up from a teacher of French I rather disliked. I try and differentiate 0s from Os by shape, as ordinary type does, when necessary — but I fear a mistake like the plant display one day…
