Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV][DISCUSSION] Multilingual PHP
From: galvao@galvao.eti.br (Er Galvao Abbott)

My two cents on this, since I teach beginner courses on a regular basis:

All languages - that I'm aware of - have English as their basis. As a 
matter of fact our industry as a whole have English as it's basis. I 
often tell my students: learn English. You'll eventually need it and it 
will provide you with a whole different view of all things as you'll 
understand their meaning. You may argue it's unfair or even cruel, but 
it is what it is.

So while I understand the reason behind this discussion - and am even 
sympathetic towards it - it seems to be "Working on a problem that's not 
really there". Aside from all this, wasn't this one of the downfalls of 
PHP6?
