That is a big hammer! But today I prefer to use UTF-8 character sets and the associated machinery. It is nice to see people's names and other things as they were intended. Using LC_ALL turns everything off. Which of course is fine to lock to a very traditional Unix environment. I prefer this: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_COLLATE=C That way I get the good parts (charsets) but not the bad parts (collating / sorting). People's definitions of good and bad here are obviously open to interpretation.
