I think it is safe to assume that MJD was not being ironic/sarcastic.

And I know, as someone who has never managed to attain any degree of fluency in a 2nd language, that I am very, very lucky that my nursery language turned out to be the de facto international language of computers.

Explaining jokes: nothing funnier than an autopsy.
