Well, I worked in Miami for nine years, and not once did I see one of my Cuban or Mexican colleagues code anything like this:

C#
// Comment out if not using the Spanish version of the compiler
// Por favor comente si no esta utilizando la version espannol del compilador

entero publico Longidut
    {
        obtener { devolve ese.Longidut; }
    }


This sort of thing is just a classic example of a programmer who is just too lazy to correct the property name where it is used. Much easier to take the easy way out and keep the property name misspelled.

We had a programmer like this on a COBOL project. 15 years after he was fired, we are still living with the sh*tty code he wrote. There is no bandwidth in my team to rip it all out and replace it, so I have imposed a policy of "replace, don't fix" whenever we run into an issue with one of this guy's modules.

Any developer on my team who tries to get away with this kind of stuff now gets dealt with abruptly. There is no excuse for it.
