True, but if it cost you $10 (or 10 GBP) to courier your curriculum
vitae to the head office of Encyclopaedia Britannica to become Staff
Coordinator, then you'd be fine. And if it cost you $10 to post your
work summary to Britannica's administration to apply for this Staff
Coordinator position, you could say it without 'e' too. Doesn't mean
you don't need Unicode!
