lol @ every single damn "language keywords are in English ergo you need English to program" argument. Even if it wasn't missing a step, programming languages haven't been in English for decades, if ever.
I think “static” for function-scoped globals in C makes some sense: the memory location is static (a fixed address) rather than dynamic (a stack-pointer-relative offset).

(I know that’s not true anymore since globals and function statics are now dynamic too due to PIC, but originally it made sense.)
