really makes you think

Everything looks fine in elinks

Because native english speakers can tell the diffrence by context just like how native Japanese speakers can easily tell the diffrence between ソ and ン.

because pretty much everyone agreed that sans fonts were way more aesthetic, and suited better for digital content. Considering the only differentiating factor between I and l is serifs, you're expected to know which is which.

I also like Sans fonts.

But this is one major glaring issue with Sans fonts I wish they'd fix.

How?

But my font already has a proper capital "L".

>>61763016

So how does IlIya-chan because アイラちゃん?

>>61762884
It's not aesthetics.

They did tests.
With medium and large sized on-screen fonts most people can sans faster.
With small on-screen fonts most people can read serif faster.
I think in print most people always read serif faster though (no idea why that would be).

>"Iliad"
>I read this as "Lee-add"
>Illinois
>I read this as "Lin-oise".
why would you think the first letter was a lowercase L, and why would there be an upper case i in the middle of the word. Are you retarded?

Suck my click

I assume OP means they read like "LLIAD" and "LLLINOIS".

Which I have to agree with.
You kinda have to know the words to to read them correctly.
No problem with common words but with uncommon words it can be tricky.
