When I was a kid we didn’t even have ones! We had to write all our code with zeros. Apologies to Scott Adams of course.

In the days of typewriters it was quite common not to have a 1-key, you used lower case L.

There were also typewriters that didn't have zero, just used capital O

but look at that, they had handy fractions!

Heh. One of my first hard bugs was in FORTRAN. I was doing some trig, and FORTRAN didn't know what COS was. Turned out that I overshot the Oh key, and hit the zero which is just past it. Of course, being FORTRAN, it was all caps. It took me two days to find that one-character difference.
