I couldn't imagine how frustrating learning to program is if English is a second language.

I get irritated having to just change to Americanised spelling -- like "Colour" to "Color"

It didn't bother me that much, honestly, but I feel your pain since I learnt British English. That subtle difference is a bitch.

@Jilano British English (AKA: Proper English)

I'm Dutch and I did not find it frustrating at all, but I got taught English at a young age in school

@odite Exactly. As opposed to "American English", aka "Simplified English".

@Jilano Beautiful

As a french guy, I often had to check spelling for some word because i struggle with letter order in some words. Lile awesome or answer (or awnser ?... F****)

Out of that I mostly prefer english naming convention. (I have code that is part french, part english writed. Believe me, it's awful :3)

i use them interchangeably to make people very very mad

"color is a fundamental part of visual expression but colour is also useful to guide the subconscious" now feed me your tears

Well the only inconvenience for me is that the programming [] {} () are way easier on English layouts than on Swedish ones. Could been easily fixed with getting such a keyboard tho
