This just looks like obviously 11.5 :1:1 to me, the slant would be totally wrong for 7s. I had to check back your comment to be sure you were really talking about these 1s as looking like 7s :)
But this thread reminds me of when I lived in Canada for a while (coming from France) and I did misread numbers very often, which was totally unexpected to me. Yes, 7s and 1s looks very different between Canada (and the US I guess) and France (and probably the rest of Europe).
I haven't had this problem with Belgium though I'm not surprised if the standard here had been chosen to be the same as in France.
- hombre_fatal 3y agoThey might be obvious ones in the context of this one person. But they are trivially not obvious next to someone who writes one like "|" and then seven is just "|" with any sort of hat. Your slant heuristic immediately fails.
- seszett 3y agoIt's "obvious" because 7 is always slanted here. But I know it's not the case in North America and I have a good experience on how numbers can be misinterpreted, as I said. I was just saying it was obvious to me and it even takes effort to see how they could be misinterpreted. But I know they can be.
