You're quite right, but a beginner who is scrambling to figure out what any
of it means, doesn't need the headache of deducing I from l on logic alone.
Try reading my handwriten Klingon sometime: I don't use serifs, my {'}s are
really long and my baseline is unsteady so the word {lI'} looks like three
uneven vertical lines. I can read it just fine. :)
