I slash my Z's. Realized this because I did it tonight, especially since the Z followed a 2 in an authorization number from an insurance company. I usually write everything else in an extraordinarily sloppy cursive, so I don't think about it.

That's how I sometimes write my 1's too, and that's why I sometimes crosses my 7's.

Zorro: You recognize that famous sign?
Old Man: Si senior. It is a Two.
Zorro: That is a Z!
Old Man: But in the school, that is how they teach my granddaughter to draw a Two.
Zorro: *I* say it is a *Z* - For El Zorro!
