Thou shalt have no other gods before the ANSI C standard 1555
... not to mention plain text in various languages other than English. Thou shalt have no other gods before the ANSI C standard 1557 Is this better 1 hoist: proc(n); 0000 HOIST: C07C 0000 .entry 52 52 F7 0006 cvtlw r2,r2 56 52 32 0009 cvtwl r2,r6 52 56 D0...

Some of those have even been default fonts for command windows on things...) Try the German-style (what's the "real" name for those in English again...

Closely related languages are even worse, though, being harder to notice...) -- #Not speaking for my employer. No warranty. YMMV.
