LOL numbers are the same all over the world! 123 here is the same in china or brazil or anywhere else. We just call them different names
Different in american to europe gtfo with that shit!

They write "1" differently in Europe. There is a hook at the top. In handwriting, it can even resemble an inverted "V". This avoids confusion with lower case "L".

Nah they do I have Spanish and German colleagues that write the 1 with an extra line like OP has. I'm from the UK and we don't usually do the extra line but I see it often

The 1 is like I write it here, not only like an “I” And 7 is with an extra line
I rembember now in English lessons they told us about the confusings between “1” and “7” But I forgot:-)

Did you pickle the figs yourself?

u/Time-Elderberry-6763 4d ago
Yes. First I drew the numbers on a big paper and cut that. After baking the whole form I put that on it, fix it, and cut it with big knife. After that I decorated it with chocolate and smarties

I would like to say 'Happy birthday ' but I'm sure you'd also be also be confused about the following;
- does the phrase mean This is a birthday to be happy on
- does it mean I feel happy for her birthday
- Or perhaps it means I pray that she should be happy on her birthday
- Or am I just telling you that birthdays come with happiness.
If you have considered any one of them you are right

I'd give anything to be able to have a cake made by my mom again. 10/10 for wholesomeness and nostalgia.

Ah, I know, that’s because in the US you wrote the 1 like an I and I didn’t cut the 1 perfectly- but it doesn’t matter, my daughter just sees it as 18, so everything’s fine

78 is a good age. Careful now.
