English predominates the structures of the Internet, having originated in
the US. For instance, URLs read left to right: server.domain.tld,
www.ibiblio.org
But then things get screwy at the directory level:
www.ibiblio.org/internetworkers
Shouldn't it be, according to logic or English rules,:
internetworkers/www.ibiblio.org ?
And wouldn't it have made more sense to forego English, perhaps using the
style of European dates ... a descending logical order:
org.ibiblio.www/internetworkers ?
just pondering...
