| Jun 28, 2011 at 20:22 | comment | added | mac | @Ivo - My comment was jokingly addressed to the broken English issue! ;) However I would say that with my proposal comments in another language would just work fine... OTOH block comments in English won't trigger the "is this code?" question, but that's just fine because the code for which the comment has been written would already have triggered it... | |
| Jun 28, 2011 at 20:14 | comment | added | Ivo Limmen | I'm Dutch and everything I code is in English, by comments are not (depending on the project). So Non-English must be code would not suffice. That or you mean that broken English must be code. | |
