It depends who was to read it ;-) When I just scribble something for myself, I often use bars as some sort of shorthand. Just laziness :P But if someone else has to read it, it's not such a good idea. They probably could guess it, but it's certainly not usual. Looks like some sort of font-slang, and it shows the writer is real lazy and inconsiderate for the reader <blush> And forget the bar on the u, that's only confusing. That was learned in school by people who are over 70 now, who wrote in some long-since outdated "old german font"!
