The thing is though a lot of the real developers of blender have English as=
 a second language or not at all.  Though I don't speak any other languages=
 I don't think it's fair to limit in that way.

Marines wear shirts that say things like "pain is weakness leaving the body=
."

The Army wears shirts that say "the Bahamas."

Coincidence in think not.
