Nobody needs more than a poor and limited subset. The actual

Bogus, wrong, poor, limited, useless.

I work with text that was originally composed in ISO8859-1 or Windows
1252 and brutally translated by iconv. My original

Bogus, wrong, poor, limited, useless.

I sometimes have to handle these kinds of trolls too, it's VERY annoying.
