    What question hasn't been asked and answered more than once? What
    question is new anymore?

    Have you tried looking up info through google lately?

    A quick look-up with the search string "locale settings" returns nothing
    that would help me; it does offer attempts to stear me in the right
    direction, but I probably would have made other problems in trying to
    fix my one.

    With regards to it being asked previously; they may have asked it
    differently, they may not have thought it out, and asked it like I did,
    there are a number of ways of asking any given problem, if I didn't word
    it like they did, it would be like shouting into the darkness (like most
    search attempts).

    I understand that the "noise" and/or extra bandwidth that I used in
    sending/receiving comments with this message might have been burdensome
    to the server(s), and possibly you, but I received the answer quicker,
    and more presice to my dilemma, then if I had gone through google.

    Who's to say what questions are allowed to be answered/asked? Should
    they all go through you first; deleting the ones you feel are exotic
    enough to actually spend time answering?

    Secondly, the possible ways of explaining a problem are far from small,
    I could have typed away dozens of attempts in google, and still not
    gotten an answer. But I did here; in about five minutes.

    I did search google, but all I recieved as replies were how to change my
    locale settings, which I didn't want to do, I needed to generate the
    ones I already had defined.

    And I know me, as a relative idiot in the Linux/GNU world, snapping at
    you, and possibly offending you as well as others is wrong, and probably
    in very bad taste. But I couldn't let you try to tell me what I can and
    cannot post.

    If you can show me five posts where this exact question has been
    answered previously. I'll shut up about this, praise you, and apologize
    for wasting bandwidth/etc.

    I apologize now for being a giant, swarthy, uncouth, american.
