I ran into this exact scenario with an acquaintance on Facebook back when I engaged in such silly endeavors.
Her name was Al and I couldn’t figure out for the life of me if it was Al or AI. I think I finally did ask, but damn I could NOT figure it out on my own. I suppose there must’ve been some way to copy paste it into word and configure to all caps, but the thought never occurred to me.
Man, I wish you could just use TS without some kind of preprocessor.
But I also wish JS had less footguns like “oh, this function returns an array-like object that has half of array methods… But not the one you want right now”.

Why would you do such a horrible thing?
Well, ignoring the mire of ancient bad idea compatibility, it’s nice to just have a REPL wherever you have a browser.

The uppercase ‘i’ and the lowercase ‘L’ each have to enter the Thunderdome, and have just one emerge alive.

I always copy just the I, l, or rarely | and search for it with any search engine. It usually clears it up
