Best to refrain from the habit substituting '2' for 'to' & 'too' and '4' for....'for.'

Anybody ever meet people who have this habit? If so, "run the other way!"

How many are sticklers to proper notation standards, styles, etc. etc?

Distinguishing between 0s and 8s can also be confused e.g., digital fonts in LED number readouts.

When LED readout displays wear-out over time e.g., LED clocks, the displays are not only confusing, but surreal-like.

I write 4 as 4, and 9 as 9.

It's never caused any confusion.

But HOW to you write "4".

Open topped? Or closed top?

The number four (as '4') is a commonly printed style e,g, on keyboards, and print fonts. The written style is best done as https://pxhere.com/en/photo/938210 -

Here's yet another example of a '4'

RELATED: There are a few variations of the lower-case 'a' - variations, both of which are commonly printed and written.
