We live in an international world (otherwise we wouldn't need that annoying unicode stuff). When you say, "effort to be understandable", what you're really saying is, "everybody should be just like me". Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. Or maybe fortunately, since variety and exploring different cultures is part of what makes life interesting. Keep in mind, there's a lot of native Mandarin speakers who are wondering why they need to bother learning English at all. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
