You're just being more honest than most developers by admitting it. A large percentage of programmers feel that way. In fact Paul Graham shares your attitude and, consequently, limited awareness of internationalization issues. His "we can always tack it on later" approach to Unicode use in Arc combined with his "Arc strings are just a list of characters" claim gave it away. For many years, I made good money cleaning up after developers who felt just like you guys who were, nevertheless, brilliant at other aspects of programming. There's a lot to be said for using a team of specialists in different areas.
