English (not American, mind you) is convenient right now, because it is pretty simple, easy to handle in aging software, and works as a lingua franca of the IT/software community for the time being. We might see that shift to Mandarin, one of the languages I unfortunately do not yet speak, but who knows. So please calm down. The world is a big place, and America is neither its navel nor did it invent the English language. ;-) -Ralph
