I'm tired of this kind of fallacy.
ASCII is not English.
A charset is not tied to some content language.
I am also fed-up with this kind of logic violation. Read the RFC and
read my mail!
English language is selected by the IETF.
English is tied to ASCII.
This is one of its leading advantage: to support information
interchanges with the most limited charset.
To read into this anything else, and in particular that ASCII would
be limited to English is absurd or baised.
