Just ignorant people reinvent the wheel.
Just weak people need to have their "own" words to show how they are strong.
Did you ever heard about jargon ?
Smart people look for simplification ; the worst unique (btw , this is a
french word) word that means something is better than several words (despite
their origin) with the same meaning.
Some people hate english , some people hate any language but its own. That
is primitive to say the least.
If the computer industry was born and developed in Japan , for instance ,
all of us would be writing in japanese ,
which is a "little bit difficult" to learn than english ;-))
