You are absolutely wrong - I can tell that from my "local" experience  
- the greatest part (eldest) of Latvians has no other language  
knowledge than Latvian and for some part - also Russian (other  
languages - marginal case). As the Windows started to speak  
comprehensible Latvian just recently. so, I wanted to tell that people  
speaking "smaller" languages use graphical representation of commands  
- just like children do - "press this icon, then, from the third menu  
choose 7th line and you done!"

This, according to my experience, is "User Vulgaris".
