I can’t believe nobody has done this list yet. I mean, there is one about names, one about time and many others on other topics, but not one about languages yet (except one honorable mention that comes close). So, here’s my attempt to list all the misconceptions and prejudices I’ve come across in the course of my long and illustrious career in software localisation and language technology. Enjoy – and send me your own ones!

    I don’t know any Vietnamese, but I suspect it would be as awkward of an answer as “not no” in English.

      I’m sure it would. But in many languages a double negative just reinforces the negative. Hence the question.
