Why dont some washing machines that have letters on controls follow the Alphabet in correct order? (more info below.)
My washing machine as letters for each differnt wash, and they go as follows.
A,B,C,D,E,F,G,J,K,L,M,N,P,and Q. No I or O.
O i can. but why miss out the I etc. understand as it can be mistaken for 0.

beeper_spryte answers:

O (capital o) can be mistaken for 0 (zero)
I or l (capital i and lowercase L) can be mistaken for 1 (one)

1 and 0 are binary codes for "on" (one) and "off" (zero). wouldn't do to confuse people.


Supplement from 12/12/2008 04:12pm:

and if your washing machine has more than 14 options on how to wash clothes, it's needlessly complex and has a higher chance of breaking down, imho.
