I prefer English, too, but perhaps it comes from that DOS and Windows, what
I have used, has been a little restrictive against letters not belonging to
the basic ASCII character set. In other words I am not sure the *odd*
characters are not causing any unexpected behavior in some level starting
from for example DOS file naming system. Perhaps it is just a question of
being too familiar with the basic ASCII character set (brainwashed against
something odd) .
