Yes, I'm curious how much of a pain point it is for users like him. I 
can think of two general categories:
1) people who don't speak English whose main language has an alphabet 
that's a superset of the English alphabet
2) people who don't speak English and read a separate alphabet than the 
English one

So if anyone else has user stories that fit one of those categories, I'd 
like to hear about them.
