I really dont understand what we are communicating (or not) about... Can you hear my accent? I certainly cant hear yours If you are talking of accent (aural/physical just to be clear) of your co-workers how is that more on-topic or relevant to this list than the weather in Finland. [Yeah its been freakish weather out here for the last 10 days -- global warming? And is global warming on topic for this list?] Just to be clear -- I am going to be one of the tail-enders complaining about on/off-topicness. But someone or other will complain I guess. If on the other hand you are being slightly metaphorical and using 'accent' to talk of (say) Mark's britishisms¹ then please disambiguate for better communication. But more to the point its still not clear (to me) whether you are objecting to - to Mark - to British accent - to British spellings in software - to anyone/anywhere international, using non-international format ¹Personally I find Mark's britishisms sometimes funny eg I found this https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.python/EfloMHB3DjQ/ZdY3Vn_6rpsJ hilarious even though I could not decipher more than 70% of the british accent. Sometimes though I find it irrelevant/unnecessary/undecipherable. Personally I am not going to object to him nor am I going to object to anyone objecting to him. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
