Someone who knows English has no problem with an English only Stackoverflow. Amazing.
The fact that non-native English speakers might prefer English only sources is a red herring; they already know English. Of course perusing English sources makes more sense to us; we already know English to such degree that communicating in it is about as painless as communicating in our native tongue, and focusing mostly on English sources gives is a looot more meaty information. I could read some Wikipedia article in my own tongue, or I could get 5 times more information of perhaps higher quality by reading it in English.
- davidcollantes 13y agoI learned English because of my interest on technology, and because I saw it not at as disadvantage, but the opposite. Yet again, if it was up to me, I would set Latin or Esperanto as a 'universal' language and be done with it. :-)
