Yes, I was going to say that I thought they'd be
caught by spell-check, since a numeral one instead of
the lowercase l would make the word mis-spelled.
You're right, though, Jamie--in some fonts it is very
hard to see the difference. Sometimes I put the
numeral one right next to an el, as in tell, so I can
see the difference, if there is one.
I'm not sure what you mean by "big ones," but one
thing you could do is to do a global search for words
with that substititution, e.g., put we'l1 (I can't see
the difference typed here--can you?) w e ' el one and
do a find. If there are any you can replace with we'll
and hit find next. and replace. That goes very
quickly.
