The point was that being able to use non-English in code is

non ascii code versions in a previous post if you want that
too.
If you wish to make a point about something irrelevant to the
discussion, that's fine. It is, however, irrelevant, mostly
because it is uncontested.
This thread is about the use of non-English in *identifiers*.
This thread is not about comments. It is not about literals
(i.e. - strings). Only about identifiers (function names,
variable names etc.).
If you have real world examples of those, that would be both
interesting and relevant.

English doesn't mean ascii. You can write non-English in ascii,
which you would've noticed if you'd opened the link, which had
identifiers in Norwegian (which is not English).
And again, I've already posted a link that shows non-ascii
identifiers. I'll paste it again here incase you don't want to
read the thread:

Shachar seems to be aiming for an internet high score by shooting
down threads without reading them. You have better things to do.
