Some idiot designed our letters and numbers

Upper case eye "I" and lower case el "l" Here they are alternating IlIlIlIlIlI tell them apart?

Generation Cupcake can't handle the English language. Better get to your safe place. And nice racist and sexist rant about Chinese women.

If you zoom in you can, cannot if you don't.

The finial on the lowercase L in DIN is a unique characteristic. It’s common in sans-serif designs for it to be difficult to tell the difference between a capital i and a lowercase L.
Verdana solves for this by using a serif on the capital i. Some versions of DIN even have an alternate capital i with serifs like Verdana.

I know right they need to go back 5,000 years and pay that dummy a lesson for not seeing the advent of digital silicon x86 architecture CPU's displaying ASCII text character fonts that might potentially look alike on a fiber optic internet.

Gwad, what a dummy for not seeing that one coming.

Because handwritten 1's 7's, l's etc are easily distinguishable.

Tell him to go back to the feather and ink and hit the midnight whale blubber candle stash to make sure the characters they create suit our modern needs.

^Son of a bitch, 5 stole 4... or did 4 steal 5.

Looks like it could be worse. Could be eastern Arabic numerals, where 7 is 6, 0 is 5, E is 4 (not even 3!), V is 7 (but not 6 or 5!), and 2 and 3 look almost identical.

Prettiest written language in the world: perhaps middle eastern languages, though Japanese can look nice

Thailand is right up there.

Also quite pretty. Can't remember hearing it.

I don't see why you can't appreciate the science behind it all. It's simply evidence that an AT0T troll has managed to create a time machine and is trolling us all with the ultimate of trolls.
