When I was in high school and need to type a paper, I was essentially forced to use our old antique typewriter. Interestingly enough, there was no "1" key, nor a "0" key. If you needed to type either of those numbers, you had to use the lowercase "l", or the uppercase "O" respectively. So, the since they were identical, you could only tell them apart by context.
Incidentally, the O's would actually cut a hole through the ribbon and paper making my assignment resemble Swiss cheese.

Tra "holy term paper, Batman!" nio
