There is a distinct consciousness in many countries, both developed and
developing, about this dominance of English. There is some evidence of resistance
to it, a desire to change it" said [Scott] Montgomery [the author of another article
published in the same issue of Science]. For example, he said, in the early years
of the Internet it was dominated by sites in English, but in recent years there has
been a proliferation of non-English sites, especially Spanish, German, French,
Japanese, and others (pars. 19-20).
