This is very interesting: could you explain why switching from German to
English [in the use of identifiers] improved the quality of your source code
? This sounds counter-intuitive since one would expect that native German
speakers immediately recognize German words, remember them easily, type them
with more ease than foreign words, finally these words would also describe
their function in a more comprehensible and accurate fashion (the developper
having a wider vocabulary in his mother tongue).
