As a job title: sysadmin
Loathe.
Every now and then there crops up the situation where there is no copy/paste from host to host. And when that involves a fucking product key or some shit... Mother fuckers just base 58 that shit.
What would you rather read and type?
Product key: "I dont fucking know lots of lllllIIIIIIlllIII etc"
Or...
Product key: "CqiDNKttsj1NUubpbVJ2VJL9eMEpRvRFMV3hNPRxtUX7SMox5UQjeEZX3DqqHNAfkSE"
I rest my case.

In French, il has always looked a bit weird when typed at the beginning of a sentence.
Il y a un I suivi d'un l.
Not sure what you’re talking about
Like "O" and "0" in some fonts. The O is slightly fatter.
In the case of Il, the l is slightly taller. Don't get me started on |.
I hate this so much. There are plenty of aesthetically pleasing ways to avoid it. Windows 8 was particularly bad, my recollection was they literally looked exactly the same there, no difference at all. Luckily I only had to use it for a very brief unpaid internship.
How about the Greek question mark: ; I still need to find an opportune moment to prank some collegues with that one.
That is very irritating. Hope you eventually get the chance to use a font that passes the i-l-1 (eye-ell-one) test.
I can’t be arsed to change the font.
Others just set a DIN 1451 font such as the widely available Bahnschrift and have nothing to complain about.
lmL
i L
L i
Capital i is slightly taller than lowercase L.
