Many years ago, a programmer where I worked was told to write a
program in Cobol instead of RPG (which he preferred). So he did, but
all the variables were in Spanish. Management was not impressed.
This was in North Alabama early 1980's and there there was not even
one Mexican restaurant in town back then, not even Taco Bell (if you
call it Mexican) so nobody really spoke Spanish. (FYI, he was from
Mexico, moved to the US, served in the Army, married a girl from
Alabama and was most-likely the only real Mexican in 200 miles. He did
get his citizenship while I knew him.)
Well, I don't live in Alabama and we don't have Mexican immigrants. We
also don't have Spanish people in Poland. But I have to do with Spanish
or even Catalonian names in JCL, COBOL or DB2. Guess who wrote it.
BTW: I'm not sure about Taco Bell, but we have McDonalds and Subway. I
think is a basis for some compensation. ;-)
