Dave, possibly the pattern is 1 to 10, 2 to 20 and 3 to 30. The leading zero is omitted in the US.

Worse yet, I can imagine a little light reflection on the screen obscuring the readability between 1L and 10; add a fair dose of presbyopia and you get my drift. What about 1l and 11, not nice.

Which SW were they using?
