Well, I don’t think the point was to “import words from a specific language”. That’s a bit too dismissive IMHO.

Anyhow, as an Italian living in the Netherlands, I can tell that to a certain extent this concept does exist: look, people here use the same words for different meanings “in context”. So guess what? Code written by a Dutch often contains a Context object that affects how a generically named Business object behaves.

I wonder how it is in Germany? I guess they don’t use the 80 col code formatting rule :P
