Well, I suppose you could argue that it's more local to languages that
use the latin aphabet than those that don't, and among them even more
local to the romance or neo-latin launages.

Personally, I don't care what people use as long as they don't start

sv: re: sv: re: ax: er: tr: gq: The original subject here
That's really annoying...
