I think that we had this discussion 25 years ago: In these these there was
this quarrel about translating LOGO into your own language, because all
these English words were an extra hurdle for children,... In the meantime
children on the streets handled words like
SUPERCALIFRAGILOUSCUMEXPIALIDOCIOUS (I know, mispelled, plastic memeory..)
Makes me think of another wisdom: make a system idiot-proof and only idiots
will use it.

We could agree about a token-system to categorize things on the mail for
easier find and storage. (OT for off topic etc... Who will remember that it
started as English..)
