:::::One could for a laugh but not seriously. For a laugh I asked MS Word to open the mandated input using US-ASCII. It then thinks the book is Les MisC)rables. Knuth defined the task assuming it was going to read US-ASCII, and clearly defines what a letter is in that context. It makes no sense to write a task for US-ASCII (e.g. Unix on the task page) and then run it on an example in UTF-8. Obviously an alternative is to mandate an example written in US-ASCII--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 10:32, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
::::::The task as currently defined does not specify what a letter is. I suggested a definition that would allow both the "classic" (pre-RC) solutions and the new Python etc. samples to be accepted. --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 12:31, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
