 Ah. If I write a script I tend to mix English and Spanish. I tend to use English thinking of sharing the script or asking questions about it. The places where I do that are English speaking mostly.

I always write for others -- as, if I have to revisit the code
a year or five hence, *I* will effectively BE one of those
"others".
This is yet another hidden advantage that benefits english language
speakers in the market.  I can't imagine what it would be like if I
had to think (or "post process") to a "second language"!
