"Standard" way, similar to the printed number 2 or the letter Z. My handwriting is pretty much like that of a doctor most of the time, because I usually try to write fast and barely readable. If I want my writing to be readable to other people, I write in printed letters.

The only time I write in handwriting and kinda-readable is when I write on a video tape or on a box of a cassette. Then I do it slowly and usually kinda-readable.

I had my marks reduced for bad handwriting in first grades all the time and told to do writing exercises all the time (pretty much writing from a book etc). It did not help :twismile: and after a while the teacher just gave up.

I try to keep all my numbers very clean and readable. The worst situation you can get in when you write numbers too quickly and you make 2's into a backwards S. Of course 1's and 7's much not be confused.

 

But I write 2's in the most standard and readable way possible, even if it takes slightly longer time.

I've almost always written it with a loop, so I guess that would be considered the fancy "Parrot Shape". Most people I know write it the normal way, so I guess it's something that just became a habit.

Depends on what context. For my telephone schematics, I have to follow a standard using a very tight upper arc. For my scripts, I use a little loop. Most commonly. I write it just like a '2', no fancy stuff.
