I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
I get occasional a massive amount of spam with Cyrillic script. Is it possible to write HTML and other sorts of internet programming in Cyrillic, or is everything done in Latin script? More to the point, are programs like Dream Weaver translated into other languages so that people can construct web pages in their native languages, or is all that code written in English with just the contents in the other languages?

If the latter, does this suggest that the Latin script, and specifically English will be the dominant written language for the foreseeable future, and grow in usage as more people need to learn it for internet communications?
The dogma lives loudly within me.

There is a long answer to this.

A short answer is, if you use Microsoft IE

Go to View (up there on the menu bar)
- then Encoding
- then More

Pick your favorite
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy
