The question is whether you should write docs in slang. Answering your
private mail - I installed RedHat servers with locale set to Red Neck

give way, occasionally, to functionlity (Monty Python's Complete Waste
of Time CD nonwithstanding, of course. Which reminds me, I should check
whether it works on Wine....).
