I think the Japanese will emerge triumphant in GUI's.
They already have Icons for everything!

I refuse to move to the Netherlands.  Why can't they learn to talk without
those gaggy throat-clearing noises?  The rest of the world lives without
them; why can't they?  What possible benefit can they be?  Forget it.  Japan
is out of the question; what fools having such an incomprehensible writing
system! Nothing interesting will ever happen there, either.

English is so obviously the way to go, so easy to learn a child can pick it
up.  Why can't everyone just adopt it and be done?  Get with the program,
people!
