Agora should be unique and have its own traditions but it should not be 
unapproachable.


Some things it's fine to do in other languages if the context makes it 
clear, but definitely not official business.

I prefer English as well. I think English is just more practical too, being
the most accessible language to most here. While things can be fancier, I
think being accessible should be a priority because people should
understand what is going on without headaches (and fear of Apathy scams or
stuff).

I personally prefer usage of English (or whatever languages are actually 
being used by the community).
