[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [qb]Some alphanumeric systems don't use I (or O) because they look too much like the numeral. e.g. UK car number plates use a letter to indicate the year of issue, but skip I and O; (and use Q for other purposes).[/qb][/QUOTE]It's not interesting at all, but...not anymore. We now use the last two digits of the year to indicate, er, year. It's Y2K just waiting to happen again. People will think that 100 year old cars are brand new come 2001, and madness will ensue. And we didn't use Z either, presumably because it looks a bit like S. [/QB][/QUOTE]
