Looks can be deceiving

Question

Text version:

I saw an "I", he said "it's L"

I saw an "L", he said "it's V"

I saw a "P", he said "it's Q"

"Don't you get it?" he asked

"Don't you see it?" I asked

"No" We both said

What is going on?

Why do you need the image version? – msh210 Jul 19 '20 at 16:10 — msh210, Jul 19 '20 at 16:10
Long story. More for a decent visual effect. – DrD Jul 19 '20 at 18:00 — DrD, Jul 19 '20 at 18:00
This question feels really poetic! – George Menoutis Jul 21 '20 at 06:10 — George Menoutis, Jul 21 '20 at 06:10

I think you are looking at the shape of

Braille letters and he is saying what these shapes actually stand for:

You don't get it as you don't know Braille, he doesn't see it as no vision. Thanks Beastly Gerbil!

I'm assuming as well that the other person is blind so thats why 'he cant see it' – Beastly Gerbil Jul 19 '20 at 13:17

@BeastlyGerbil, good point and I added this explanation :) – Tom Jul 19 '20 at 13:23

@DEEM And you posted the puzzle as an image without text transcription, so that users with vision impairment can't read it. Very meta; we'll let it go this once ;-) – Rand al'Thor Jul 19 '20 at 13:43

@Rand al'Thor. Complete ignorance on my part. If I put in the text will it be OK? – DrD Jul 19 '20 at 13:46

@DEEM I would recommend putting a text version in. It also means you'll fit the character requirement :P – Beastly Gerbil Jul 19 '20 at 13:52
