I don't. I'm a native English speaker, so a single, well designed, 
English-oriented language is all I need. I want programming languages to 
decide what language they're in, and stick to that language. Then people 
who want to use identifiers not supported by an English-oriented 
language, such as Ada, will have a reason to create their own language.
