intended to describe some variations in hacker usage as reported in

the English spoken in Great Britain and the Commonwealth (Canada,

Australia, India, etc. -- though Canada is heavily influenced by

American usage). There is also an entry on [140]Commonwealth Hackish

reporting some general phonetic and vocabulary differences from U.S.

hackish.

Hackers in Western Europe and (especially) Scandinavia report that

they often use a mixture of English and their native languages for

technical conversation. Occasionally they develop idioms in their

English usage that are influenced by their native-language styles.

Some of these are reported here.

On the other hand, English often gives rise to grammatical and

vocabulary mutations in the native language. For example, Italian

hackers often use the nonexistent verbs `scrollare' (to scroll) and

`deletare' (to delete) rather than native Italian `scorrere' and

`cancellare'. Similarly, the English verb `to hack' has been seen

conjugated in Swedish. In German, many Unix terms in English are

casually declined as if they were German verbs - thus:

mount/mounten/gemountet; grep/grepen/gegrept; fork/forken/geforkt;

core dump/core-dumpen, core-gedumpt. And Spanish-speaking hackers use

`linkar' (to link), `debugear' (to debug), and `lockear' (to lock).
