Please, note that "everyone" cannot type Latin1 .
There are enough countries in the World, where the Latin1 symbols are
not used at all. Moreover, they did not use ASCII in their culture
initially. ASCII came later, as a "symbols for the technical English",
because this language are used for computers for the historical reasons
(as well as the French is used in diplomacy).
IMHO the issue here is a lack of geography knowledge. Some people
("kids" in terms of Ralf :) ) actually think that it is possible to
travell from US to Europe on a car... (without the ferry :) ). Hence it
is not too surprisingly that they think that all the people in the World
use latin1 ...
