The problem is a foreign language slows me down and limits my capacity to work. So saying everybody shall use english is as stupid as saying everybody shall use Windows. Writers of literature also write in their own language. The number of english native speakers for review is a bottleneck.

And the problem when you are not using english is that many other peoples are slowed down with their work.

your fault gerd is wright, I'm happy he's coding and the ones who want to use his code should be able to undertand it. To bad they had bad education and only speak English and C#. It's only a matter of time before Spanisch will overtrown English as the most spoken language in the USA.
Everybuddy has the wright to write in his own language. I'm glad he document his code at least. Shall I go on in Dutch?
English sucks, look at what it does to the leadersof the governments of England and the USA. lol

With all the time you put in learning these languages, I bet you don't find the time to code anymore.
If you do fine, but I guess you have to agree that the more time you put in learning to speak French, the less time you have to code.
There are only 24 houres a day.

I'm glad he's coding.
I learned that sombody who's goog in Math is less good in languages. Generally speaking this is true. So coding is a lot like math, seems to me he may put all his effort in trying to write better code and skip learning french or dutch or whatever language.
