    From Holger Granholm@2:20/228 to Ed Vance on Wed Nov 2 10:42:00 2016
    In a message on Wednesday 10-31-16 Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:

    GE Ed,

    Another Letter I make a mark on is Z when I'm making notes to
    myself.

    Do You mark a Z Character like I do?

    No I don't, but I think that in the schools in the fourties, we were
    taught to write the Z with a hyphen crossing the middle of the slash
    part of the letter.

    Sometime back in the 1980's (?) I noticed that some Clerks in the
    Stores I frequent would put a small line in the middle of the number
    7 when they wrote on a Receipt.

    That was also the way we were taught to write the 7. I ceased to do that
    in 1951, because I had learned that a number 7 written that way, was
    often interpreted as a number 4.
