The language which originates the words used is not that important. What
is importatnt is that the words used are always the same. Though English
is the main source of web and software words, the words themselves often
have only a loose association with the normal usage in English. Actually,
I am wrong. The source is mostly American, not English. In English we
say 'colour', for instance, and 'different from', not 'different than' (yuk).
The thing is, Euphoria, or C, is a language. In English, we use English
words (mostly). In Welsh, Cymraeg. In Euphoria, Euphoria.
My 2p. (pence, plural of penny. why not pennys, or pennies? Because it
just isn't).
