True Friend Code change

Hello all. I think there needs to be a change to the True Friend Code. The reason for this is because a lower case L looks like an uppercase i, looks like the number 1 and the number 0 and the capital letter O look similar as well. These are known issues with numbers and letters on a computer screen. There are a few ways to do this:

1) dont use letters that look like numbers or numbers that look like letters
2) give us the choice to use only letters or only numbers in our TFC. Since they expire within 2 days, there is a very low risk of running out of TFCs
3) Embellish certain numbers by doing things like putting a slash through zeros, or using the extra lines on a 1 or upper case i

For those who don't believe people can have an issue with these things, I ask you to tell me what these are:

lIl Ill III lll

The first one is LiL, the second one is ILL, the third one is III (3 uppercase i's) and the fourth one is lll (3 lowercase Ls), but you can't actually tell that just by looking at it.
