Right! Not to mention all countries who's inhabitants don't speak German
but *do* speak (or at least can read) English.

And besides, doesn't computer jargon write much easier in English in the
first place! It took me some context switching to figure out that the
German word "speigern" means "to store in memory" although that's
not the fault of the German language but more of my limited knowledge of
the language :).
