These were some interesting remarks, Terry. I just asked myself how Chinese programmers feel about this. I don't know Chinese, but probably they could write a whole program using only one-character names for variables, and it would be still readable (at least for Chinese)... Would this be used or would they rather prefer to write in English on account of compatibilty issues (technical and human readability in international projects) or because typing these chars is more cumbersome than ascii chars? Any Chinese here?
