Sure we do! You just have to set the compilation flag to "Southern."

No, they all were from New England and the West Coast.
Just reading their resume's was torture!  
There's nothing wrong with grits (girls raised in the south) either.

Almost all my life. I guess you forgot to "set the compilation flag to Southern" 
And I have been married to a southern girl for 45+ years so I can assure you that I understand better than you can possibly imagine.

English is not my native language. (Spanish is my native), and I have been in the developer's area for more than 35 years. You are right, all the languages (at least all I know) are in English, and also the Frameworks (if they have these). I can read, write and speak English reasonably well and all my programs are written in Spanish:
if(UsuarioAutorizado)
{
AnalicePermisos(NombreUsuario, FechaAcceso);
}
We do not have any problems doing this. Usually Spanish is longer than English, but it does not represent a big difference. Of course, we developers must need to learn English (read at least) in order to write software.

I have worked with Russian programmers for 20+ years...
Fortunately in Computer Science, English is their second language!
But, you are 100% right. We have a lot of Abbreviations, and weird ways of saying things.
I tend to use kinda/sorta which aren't words, lol. So the team is told early on to ASK about
ANYTHING they are not clear about, and that OUR RUSSIAN would be much worse than their English.
Early on, a piece of code came back with a variable: Svertka in it... It came into a code review, and it was used in a lot of places. They put the definition in the code, and moved on.
But it has led to many funny situations...

We’re not the only industry with this problem. All civil aviation radio communication is done in English, all over the world.

Don't worry, in Mexico we've mastered technicall English like the vocabulary used in every (old)VCR user's guide, TV warranties, and every other household appliances that come from our northern neighbors. It is just recently that the authorities ruled that all user's manuals must come with a mandatory Spannish translation and to those of us involved with technology, English is our second language.
BTW: A trilingual is a person who speaks three languages, a bilingual is a person who speaks two languages, a person who only her language is an american! (Just kidding no offense)

I don't care who pays for it, as long as it gets built.

Dear Uncle Sam:
Sure, you can build any wall you want over the borderline as long as it is built OVER the surface level because we RULE the underground.
We've built many tunnels under your present wall or any future wall you are planning to build over the future (as longe as uncle Scrooge McTrump gets the funding for that from american law-obedient tax payers).
We have tunnels all over the place, heck! er even have one that ends way down Scrooge's arse!!
And are currently working on one close to your (rear) end.

not just English but American-English, which I accepted long ago, but becomes a pain when other developers decide to create classes and functions with British English when they clearly know that system libaries will be using the American spelling. Color / Colour. Basic coding, keep the format similar to the rest of the code you working with.

My mother language is Spanish and it's very helpful when my variable names stand out in the middle of English names:
int contador = 1;
float precioFinal = 0.0m;
// cheers!!
|
|
|
|
|
...and then take Excel.
All functions are translated into some localized words. I use the term words because if you do not understand the language you are stuck reading that code. And in case you can decipher function name, there is no way to find another function.
Better broken or even bad English than this nightmare.

I agree the Drummer has very great potential and I like his groove
Would be very interesting to listen to him unpluged.

Almost nothing. Finally I have a little time to get on with my model. It took me a while to get somewhere. Research, placing the rivets on the body (twice), adding panels, lights, redesigning the front windows and even drawing and 3D printing new parts, like the winch.
Now it's time for the weapons. Nothing special. Two lasers and launchers for seven proton torpedos on every side. Oooops, wrong model. That was an X-Wing. This is a UH-1E Huey gunship from 1967 with twin M60C machineguns and launchers for seven 2.75 inch rockets on each side.
Sorry for the facebook link, but this video is the best I could find of a UH-1E. There were around 200 of them built around 1967, so they were a rare sight to begin with: UH-1E in action[^]
I have now used my involuntary time at home to finish the almost final prototype of the starboard weapons. I also added some paint to get an impression what it will finally look like and to practice painting the complete heli aged and weathered.
Pictures of the model[^]
Edit: I was finally able to trick the editor into making the link really a link!
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
