In English code, right? :)

There are real problems of using the ASCII relatives of Turkish
letters:

döndür: return
dondur: freeze
dön: turn
don: underwear
sık: squeeze
sik: (a four-letter word)

Thousands more... :)

I (almost?) always use english variables, classnames etc, even though
it's not my native tongue.
And if I, for whatever reason, use non-english names I still stick to
ascii.
I just image that someone else will want to understand or modify my code
and he may not speak my language

Why do you assume they will know English?


It's taught in schools all over the world and almost anybody who
programs can at least read english (you're screwed otherwise because
documentation of languages and (standard-) libs, and the classes etc in
libraries themselves are usually in english).

I've sat near conversations that were clearly in a language I didn't know and where the subject at hand was just as easy to identify. You get into a technical field and every third word is Geek no matter what the other two are.

I want to put a sketch in a move: two professors walk into a room, have a 10 minute heated argument about something and *then* notice they don't have any natural language in common.
