  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

        Esperanto uses characters outside of ASCII.

          that's probably why its not the international language I meant lol

  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.
