Sometimes it's not a crazy thing to do. I'm writing in ASCII not, but my input format isn't always set to this.

Depending on combination of input method and storage method, especially when the screen doesn't display the number of characters being inputted, it is a mild pain. One to learn from, but a pain.

Working with colleagues don't use English regularly and that have a variety of IMEs (that in most cases display an identical result) and don't expect to hit Ctrl+Space, or whatever shortkey is being used for every input form... input tools that expect ASCII but don't return feedback are huge levels of pain.
