<<the language itself makes them think in broader terms (good for developing applications), and not bogged down with prepositions, adverbs, punctuations, conjuntions,>> You've got it, mate! Look to this French text, taken from Google randomly. <<Un immeuble de la cité Parc évacué C'est vers 3 heures du matin que le feu a été bouté à un sac poubelle. Ce dernier a ensuite été déposé dans l'ascenseur qui a été envoyé vers le 6e étage. Le plan catastrophe a dû être déclenché. 160 locataires ont été évacués. 34 ont dû être hospitalisés pour intoxication.>> An student instead of thinking, he'd be concentrated on all those signs under and above the letters. Same for Portuguese. French (and Portuguese) is a very precise language. That's why it was used as the language of diplomacy. That precision comes at a price, you need to learn it deeply with an attention of a cockoo watch maker. Compare that with Bill Clinton getting out by using the English. You recall his televised defense, don't you? Now you get those guys learning a language just as a tool, to write code, and that very basic language lends itself to this type of application. That's why I keep saying, I don't care my daughter doesn't know how to tell the time -she managed that now- as long as she's articulate and persuasive. I mean the shareholding company, credit cards, training, marketing supermarket all services, products and concepts invented by Americans. Engineering? Get some Germans, (before) Chinese, Indians and they can do that on the cheap! The money is in invented new industries.
