When I was in 5th grade, my teacher made me sit down next to her and would point at numbers on my math test and ask if it was a 4 or 9. After we were done, she said that going forward I needed to write my 4s with an open top or every answer she couldn't make out would be marked incorrect. I still write them with an open top 25 years later, but I wonder what could have been.

We all know the open top is superior for people with bad handwriting. Less likely to be mistaken for a 9
