   The results of the following experiment suggest that there is a lot of   
   natural language information in identifiers:

   I have tried to get researchers from non-native English speaking   
   countries interested in investigating their country-mens use of native   
   language in source code.  This seems to be a touchy subject with   
   people claiming that developers in their country all knowing English   
   very well and using it 'properly' in code.
