I love learning culturally quirks and differences. I just came across "Case mapping in Unicode is hard" by Raymond Chen. Its a wonderful post that shows that case senstivity rules are actually ingrained in regional cultures, not just a language. For example, what is a case insensitive match in Quebec isn't one in Paris. Very crazy indeed. Check it out and keep all the poor souls that have to write Unicode String manipulation libraries in your thoughts and prayers.

Heh. Nothing's ever easy, I guess.
I came up with some slogans:
"EBCDIC: Because OS/390 looks good on a resume!"
"ASCII: Because we really DON'T need more than 128 characters. Darned furriners!"
