What are you writing that you'd confuse the NUMBER 1 with a lowercase l LETTER?

When I was in college, I was a stats and math major. When you're tired and your hand is cramped, you tend to make mistakes. With the way I write it, it was clear to me what letter or number it is. That simple. Kept the habit.

This topic is the first instance I've ever seen of people saying they cross their Z's.

The real question is who draws a straight line at the top of their J's
Everyone. Also above and below I's. It's just computers that don't.

But the numbers look totally different, one is a literal straight line and the other is a slight horizontal line with a straight line thats on a bit of an angle.
Different cultures write numbers differently. In Germany or Russia, and probably many others, people write 1's with a tail - sometimes at a length or angle where the number could be confused with a 7 if there weren't another distinguishing mark to it.

Not a good documentation practice to cross 7s at work

wat

it improves legibility and prevents ambiguity on handwritten documents

Depends.
I only cross the 7 if there is also a 1 in there

Same with putting a hat pn 1's only if there is a capital i or a minorcase L near it

At my last job, if we made a mistake, we were to put a single line through it so it was still readable, write the correction and initial/date. This would cause problems if people used strike throughs for their 7s.

It was like that in boot camp but afterwards no one gives a shit, it's p. clear when you're crossing a 7 and when you're one-lining a mistake, especially when you're supposed to initial and date it.
