When I was teaching, I would tell the students "English is the de

FWIW, I've read C written by Poles, French, Russians, Chinese, and
others, and found that good code was still easy to follow. Sure,
having identifiers and comments in one's own language is helpful, but
I'd rather read well-structured code where the names are (to me)
unrelated to purpose than the all-too-common code where the names
mislead.
I almost added a closing little joke, but decided against, as I've
previously overestimated clc regulars' humor quotient.

Some folks have a humor quotient; others have only a humor
