For non English speaking coders...
Especially if working in

requires common language & terminology in code and business

Yet, I see many benefits of coding in English....
- code homogeneity between public front end and internal code
- easier to find subcontractors
- English kinda is _the_ standard
- devs are more used to it
- pear review
- "auditability" (For context, my company's lg is FR... but HQ is British)
- ...

What do you do ?

(Boosts appreciated)

@dgoosens Have also had to have the extension of this conversation. American English vs British English. e.g. Is it "initialize" or "initialise"?

@pollita @dgoosens Who cares? But stick to one version. So that you don't have to talk about a coloured elevator....

And now go jump out of a 1st floor window if you want to discuss that!

@heiglandreas @dgoosens *Jumps out of an /American/ 1st floor window and lands safely on the ground less than a meter below.*

Muahahahahhaha *juns away laughing in en_US*

@pollita @heiglandreas @dgoosens I bet you start your arrays at 1 as well, don't you! Heathens!
