Re: People need to think this through.
Given English is - in most of the world - the default business/IT language, how is someone for whom English isn't their native tongue going to adapt to these changes?
If and when applicable, I will pay these changes lip service. If clear and unambiguous communication is necessary and English prevents it because of these changes, I will try to find another language I have in common with whoever I am communicating with and switch to that. With colleagues there is a good chance that other language will be Dutch (yup, my mother tongue), with others it might be German. If necessary, I can fall back on French, Spanish, Portugese and Italian, though it may have to be in writing as I will need a dictionary.
