Why English is Important

Why does our Government insist on using English for maths and science?
This is because globally, people use English as the main IT
language at this moment.

How dangerous it is if we were to try using Bahasa for out IT education,
especially in school. See examples below:

*hardware = barangkeras
*software = baranglembut
*joystick = batang gembira
*plug and play = cucuk dan main
*port = lubang
*server = pelayan
*client = pelanggan

Try translating this:

ENGLISH:
"That server gives a plug and play service to the clients using either
hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the
client."


BAHASA:
Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan
menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu
dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.



*** told ya!***
