That's right! Just because every expansionist/colonialist/imperialist power wasn't as successful as the old Anglo-Americans, that doesn't mean one can neglect them's languages without blinking! But guess what: there is a new superpower in town. It doesn't have a name but it is run by the techno-techno oligarchy, with the sole purpose of imposing supreme techno-techno totalitarianism everywhere. The oligarchy's internal representation is all binary, but us minion techno-technos are still allowed to use our native languages for socializing, and in speech (when-/wherever that is still possible for practical reasons). As for code tho, and all tech discussion in writing, it's all Anglo-American since long. Deal with it. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
