I don't understand. The prevailing encoding (utf-8) is only as wide as ASCII is for encoding the same characters, so you are getting what you want here, unless it's an internet without other cultures and languages on it.
Kind of shocked to be reading this... have you ever made software for non-English speaking users? ASCII is not enough.
I'm pretty sure this is just Poe's Law in action.
Clearly! Silly some of us, persisting in our non-æmerican ways.
Don't know if you're trolling or not, but I fully agree. So much time could be saved by making the networks and internet ASCII-only
What if a client/user doesn't read/write English?
Time would be saved because they won't use the system. /s
teach them one international language from the start of their life
Esperanto uses characters outside of ASCII.
that's probably why its not the international language I meant lol
