It's basic but I still am not settled on the issue of neologism vs English.
Should non-English speaking folk invent new words simply to not use what's
widely used and understood on the web in English? If the French can do it,
should the Gabonese adopt that? How about the Bandjabi speaking folk?
Can you be a good Italian IA without being able to read in English? What's
the percentage of those who can't? And don't want to? (I don¹t mean to be
incendiary; I'm just curious.)
