Are you advocating that the entire world should speak one language - English?
How is typing an Arabic or Cyrillic domain disadvantageous to those that read and write Arabic or Cyrillic? Especially when the resulting site is very likely to contain content in that same language.
Your argument seems very self-centered, and quite exaggeratedly so: you'd prefer disadvantaging non-English speakers when accessing content you wouldn't ever consume, simply because you are more comfortable with Latin characters yourself.
- jotm 13y agoOh, not this again. I am not against other languages, people, races, or whatever. It just makes A LOT of logical sense to use one goddamn language online. It's not the offline world, it's been created from scratch, and English is already used in most (all?) programming languages, as well as most of the websites people actually use (although they do use region/country level translation). Why screw that up? It's a bit like if the US let Texas and California use Spanish as the official language, and the other states used English.
- DanBC 13y ago> It just makes A LOT of logical sense to use one goddamn language online I don't think you'd be saying that if the one goddamn language was something you didn't speak.
- jotm 13y agoI don't want to seem condescending or sound like a jerk, but actually, yes I would. That's because up until 10 years ago, I didn't speak English and it severely limited what I could do, both online and offline.
