    I studied French, Latin and Italian for one year fifty-odd years ago
    but, yes, I do speak English.

    Why??


    Have you ever used English-only computer system, with no graphics? Did
    you use DOS (PC-DOS, MS-DOS) before? THose are pre-1997 computer stuffs.

    Back then, we can do everything in isolated personal computers, without
    any need for mobile phones nor internet. NO HTTP, no HTML, no whatever. :)

    O.K.

    I think many people's banking accounts are still residing in old
    computer systems, including possibly yours?

    Why should trusted things be upgraded to unreliable, unpredictable things?

    To make money for purveyors of the unreliable, unpredictable things :-(
