Oh, darn. I read the domain name and thought it'd be a discussion about how forcing users to memorize two-hundred command-line switches is an extremely poor substitute for an actual domain-specific language. ;)

Particularly when the wrong flag is used. In this case, Gaelige is given the Scottish flag when it's actually the official language of Ireland in the EU. Scots and Irish Gaelige are not the same language. And Scotland is not an EU member (it's membership, sadly, is by virtue of the UK's membership)

Although I agree flags are not languages in the case of English different variants are recognized, so if you used an American Flag as your language indicator I would expect I would see a site written in EN-US and would only be confused if color were written as colour.
