I don't think that's true.
For instance, pessimization is a pretty obscure word. Most native English speakers could probably guess what it meant, but I couldn't hold any low opinion of non-native speaker that asked "what does that mean".
The code communicates just fine.
Chen Gang could be a bit more careful when making significant changes to core kernel facilities.
(said the guy that broke just printk)
I think the fluent English speakers can be tolerant reasonably well when the code is correct and compelling (and correct).
cheers, Joe
