Yes, but imagine not having to deal with those ;) Besides, in case of Spanish the spelling is more uniform. Aforementioned locales are mostly for GUIs and regional wording differences. And the thread started with "unifying english spel

You are ignoring the fact that the world doesn't end with the USA (and EU)... Even in LatAm (which is "west") there is abundance of Chinese cars... In Africa it's probably even more visible...

I had to deal with it ~1-2 years ago so for my faily ancient self it feels "recent" though considering that there were JS frameworks popping up every couple of months and were getting dropped a year later then my timeframe may be

I'm living in smaller-ish city in Spain, we rent ~120m2 2bedroom flat for ~650€ and it's city center so we don't even think about getting a car as it would be more hassle to take it out of the garage then actually walking to

Well... in most cases in densely populated places you simply can walk to the job or ride a bike. In BCN for example commute would be most of the time ~15-20 minutes (walking+metro). Car would easily take twice as much. Of course if you are
