in short, 10th position in the VIN indicates a letter. the letter corresponds to a year:

10th POSITION MODEL YEAR
L = 1990
M = 1991
N = 1992
P = 1993
R = 1994
S = 1995
T = 1996
V = 1997
W = 1998

the reason they don't have o's and i's and those type of things is because they can be mistaken for numbers like 0. so when youread a vin you know this "0" has to be zero and not o. less confusion.
