My daughter, who is about to start the application process, has an e-mail address that has a letter L and a numeral 1 in it. I am wondering whether she could create problems for herself by using this e-mail address to communicate with colleges.

What do you think? Did any of your kids have problems with e-mail addresses with ambiguous characters in them? Should I try to persuade my daughter to get a new e-mail address?
