EN is a Language Code

So EN is the 2 character ISO Code for English - I could have called it UK or US but actually I am a native speaker of neither.

We won't go into Sapir-Whorf or Quine just now, but some of my thoughts are easier expressed in English - prolonged exposure does that to you. So sorry mum - it could not be helped. I also plan to have a blog in Papiamento (for which no 2-character code exists, so it's going to be cosmosgrammaticus.pap - and I guess that's even less understandable than English - but so much nicer for South America and other romance language people.
