I ask because sometimes I feel very silly when writing clumsily in English and even sillier when I have to look up how to spell a particular word.

I want to know if I'm the only idiot that it happens to or if on the contrary it's something generalized.

(Mi idioma es el Español, por cierto)

I know most Russians do... I don't (not Russian BTW), I write them in English even if I currently have no reason to suspect that anyone except locals will look at or use that code. I just believe in people having less trouble, in general, things to be as readable as possible and easy to understand as possible. I avoid writing paragraphs though and only do it if there is a very good reason to do so.

And why is this marked as NSFW 🤨?
