[CQ-Contest] CWT Virus has spread to ARRL 10M - WPX next?

What cut numbers do the masses consider acceptable? Seems almost everyone uses t for 0, especially when it is a leading zero in a serial number.  Sometimes I have heard, and used, O for 0 also.  N is pretty easy to understand.  Once in a while I will hear A for 1.  Really haven't run into many other cut number than that.

Cut numbers.  Some of us embrace SCP and packet and Internet spotting and displays that tell us where the QRM is or isn't.  And RBN's and other technical achievements.
All of a sudden we find a way to nit-pick a way to make a contact to go faster. To use the human brain to give us an advantage.  After all, it is Morse CODE.  Do we need our computer software to decode this, or can we adapt and engage the neurons in our cranium to figure out (on the fly) that "a" = "1"?
CT1BOH in the mid-90's with his rat-tat-tat "ENNAA" was pure music in my ears.
