  1. I zig my 7. I got it from my dad. And some teachers did it too. Made sure you still didn't mistake it with a 1 which is always possible even American style. I only zigged my z's studying Air Traffic Control and pilot training, zig z's, zeros 0, and underline so they're not confused to be 2, O, or 5. We Americans are extremely casual to the point of aloofness or vacuousness in conversation.... our conversations can be pointless. And we really don't intend an answer when we say how are you? It's more of a long hello there. And all we usually want is "good" or if not good, some sarcasm if not like "living the dream!" Because again we're just saying hi, even though it's "how are you?" I try not to utter "how are you? unless I want a conversation. But even then I often just get, good, you? And they keep on walking. Which is fine. You just have to figure out who is in it for a conversation or has time... walking past one another on the way to somewhere, it's quick good you? Even if life sucks at that moment. I like talking with Germans more than most Americans. More interesting and open to talk about detailed topics. In the 90's as a kid when the internet was new I used AOL, I would go into German speaking chatrooms and people who were from Germany, Switzerland, or Austria. Met several who lived in the same town, one actually lived in another subdivision, so we met up. All age groups some elderly, another in her twenties, and the others in their teens. Made pen pales with a friend in Austria. Was nice because she preferred German, so I got to practice the language a lot.
