> and "nobody can reuse a reserved word that any other language uses unless they're conceptually identical" seems completely misguided I agree with this, and this would be far away from what I stated (that the "collision" is unfortunate). > If you're using multiple langues and switching back and forth, it's your responsibility to know those languages Absolutely, but we are human beings, we make mistakes, confusions are source of mistakes.
