> What bugs me is people who use vertical lines. I can never tell if it's supposed to be a capital I, a lowercase l, or a 1. | is not a one, it is not an l, and it is not an I. I's have bars on top and bottom, l's have little curvy things on bottom that go up a slight bit, and ones are made with some identifying feature so they don't look like sticks.

All I can say is, sorry. Ones are lines except when typed or written in a european fashion. I don't know what curvy bits you are talking about on the lower case l's. An I only has the bars if the font (or person) uses them, which most people don't. You'll just have to get over it or be annoyed a lot. Your call.

Also it isn't to hard to tell one from the other.
