I had the same problem right after I exited the purely computer room
environment. ( Are there any of those still left? Maybe in lower
Backwatersville? ) I was forever explaining that the line through my zeros
and Z's ( How do you spell Z ... zee? ) was to reduce the confusion with O
oh? ) and the number formerly known as two ( 2? ). I finally dropped them
from my everday writing to save me the hassle. Now I write script with a
copper plater's pen just to keep things interesting. What can ya expect
from ah geezer!
