so greater than or less than, the first letter is all that is used, not both words( g and t, or L and t) correct?

. = d for dot or p for period ?
- = d for dash or h for hyphen
I guess what I’m asking ( and i think you already answered) is how do you know which word the writer is using? (Ask the writer for clarification here)

what about, extra spaces and L’s and i ‘..... need help with those on how to tell the difference with l (L)and I (i) since they both look the same.

I only have a phone most of the time, is there a difference to letters on a computer?

the. vs Dot is Based on it's use. Shane Browning uses a period followed by DOTS. .. ( the First is The “period” and next 2 are Dots )

The I Vs lower case is Easy
when seen in Context of a sentence. L l the l and “i” look similar but the word tells you L vs I (eye)
L vs I vs “i”
I'm Horrible with Grammar
but
a quick Comparison or Use of the word answers the Question with L vs l vs “i”

Rarely used
But
“|” the thin l | is a “Hard break” Sign

it is Found under The 3 on keyboard
go to numbers
then hit the #+- Key
the “Hard break” Sign is Visibly thinner & longer than a lower case L or Capital “i” I L l |
if you type them next to each other,
u can see it

i Rarely use a Computer…
