I'm am sometimes suprised by the fact that when I have a problem and I start looking for answers that it doesn't matter so much what language the answer comes in. What I mean by this is that I have been having a problem which I thought was possibly related to the encoding of a Excel xml file which is being generated using ExcelXmlWriter (http://www.carlosag.net/Tools/ExcelXmlWriter/Default.aspx). I think it turns out the problem is something else which I'm still trying to figure out. The point is that I keep finding examples of code which were written by people from other countries, and while I can't read what they're saying I can read and understand their code. I love that no matter the language of the person the code is still human language independent.

Happy programming!
