I think this would make more sense if the 'o' and 'a' were lower case.

Hmm, although I suppose if it's a spoken line it wouldn't make any difference. :-/

I think explicitly saying 'lowercase' is a bit much.

Your O's look like A's.
Your o's look like a's.
Your 'o's look like 'a's.
Your 'O's look like 'A's.

I think the second probably looks best. For some reason the third looks terrible to me. The fourth and first aren't that bad, though (except for the lower case thing).

What do you think?

I'll go for
"Your o's look like a's."
then.

I like the fourth option, since the single apostrophe in the second one makes the letters look possessive.
