> boy do some websites go through hoops to be "clever"

1. I'm in (east of) France geo

2. My system is set to en_GB

Yet some websites insist in putting me in Germany. Sometimes it even changes between requests (web pages), some are extra nutty and I even get mixed content within the same page.

For the love of all that is holy, please stop being clever. UAs have had Accept-Language headers ever since RFC3282. Use that hint.
