I ask because sometimes I feel very silly when writing clumsily in English and even sillier when I have to look up how to spell a particular word.

I want to know if I'm the only idiot that it happens to or if on the contrary it's something generalized.

That's an interesting perspective. Do you think it would be better to have separate legal documentation in German, which you then can refer to in your comments?

That would be a way to get rid of German comments, sure. But it's also another layer of hassle. Usually, the comments are just a few lines to explain weird behavior.

The naming problem is nearly unsolvable, though. Unless you want to map every concept to a random string, but that's not feasible either.
