Do you get zeroes & ohs mixed up?

[Deleted member 49125]

I thought of this recently when I had to put in a code. Here you can tell the difference zero- 0, letter o- O. But sometimes when a code is generated to you, they can look so similar.
Anybody get them mixed up?

Consistently! Certain fonts they just look identical, so it's very, very easy, particularly with generated codes on cards and such, they sometimes look identical!

Back in the day, I used to avidly enter codes over at MyCokeRewards.com. I’m sure that’s still a thing. I used to always have trouble with 0’s and O’s. They looked the exact same on the soda caps, and you’d have to enter it both ways until it worked. Very annoying back then.

If I'm half sleepy then maybe I do get 0 with o or 0 into a o 😛 But not always.

lol I've had that same issue with soda caps, phone and PSN card codes. It can get a bit confusing sometimes.

Used to have that issue when I was younger. Realized that if I actually took the time to read something, I would notice the difference between the letter "O", and the number "0". I think the main issues with me not noticing differences now, is if there are weird choices of fonts on forums or sites I visit. If the font makes both of them appear exactly the same, I can have a hard time figuring out what I am reading.

Just like this at times in my brain
