Me too. I was looking around for the funny. It was me.

Guilty. I used the sum symbol for a fancy "E" riffling through my phone keyboards. I know there is a better ascii character.

edited later: corrected my intended font\unicode.

edit2: I highly recommend a f-droid app called UnicodePad for anyone in need of a proper character map application.

I was initially like, "really, under 2? Cheapass county can't even cover kids under 10?"

My foolishness knows no bounds

it's just an error in font, I took a minute to find the real meaning of this ad 😬

I think it’s

 8   11

Which is in Roman numerals

VIII   XI

But also works in arabic numerals

 5    10
 3    1

In print, yes, in hand written maths I don't mind the line

Until there's a lowercase L, or you're taking the absolute value of something ...

I don't really handwrite anything these days, but my brother always taught me to put a little upturned curve at the bottom of letters to differentiate them from similar-looking numbers.

I think in order to see a major unified system font update, we are going to need two huge corporations battle each other in court.

Yep I couldn't understand why they chose to use Roman notation. To be honest though 11 is a weird age cut off to have picked.

They probably decided on 10 or below, but it didn't sound as catchy in the marketing

people kept thinking it was binary for 2 during audience testing

Binary for three. Two would be 1 0 which would then get confused with 10 which would actually take us full circle.

That's why the changed it from 10 to 11 during testing, because people kept thinking it meant 2
