How about that!  AMERICAN Standard Code for Information Interchange.  I
don't see anything in there about any other country, and the language
of choice here is English.

Let the rest of them come up with their *own* standards.  "That's the nice

It's not Asshole's Suckjaw Code for Idiotic Isolence either, so ENUFF!
