What is worse: A wolf, or a wolf in sheep's clothing? There is no "trolling" in my reply. A nice quip, yes. Trolling, no. The fact remains that English is very important to Python. In fact, English is SO important that the great Guido van Rossum himself mentioned English explicitly in PEP8. And as we know, English is NOT his first language!
