On the 'o's and 'O's - Converting 011001110010111 from binary to decimal gives 13207. Googling that number only gives hits about Syracuse. Does anyone know if there's a connection there? [[Special:Contributions/141.101.89.205|141.101.89.205]] 01:04, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Some of the o's in love are capitalized and some of the o's in you are capitalized but no other letter in any other position has mixed capitalization.  If you take a lower case o to be a 0 and a capital o to be a 1, that gives you the string of binary digits: 011001110010111.  Unfortunately that is 15 bits, not 16 so not quite enough for two letters, but apparently the first 8 bits are "g".  If we append a 0 to the last 7 bits, it becomes "g.", if we use a 1 it becomes "g/".  Neither seems likely to be anything that i can tell.  in hex, those 15 digits become 0x3397.  Appending a 0 it's 0x672E and appending a 1 it's 0x672F.  Negating the bits (in case 1's and 0's were reversed) didn't seem to help either unfortunately.  I think there is more to the o and O's but not sure what it is :P
