All the talk of speaking Murican made me remember this fun little bit of geek trivia....

Did you know that early versions of the Red Hat Linux operating systems included the option of selecting as the installer language "Redneck"?

As I heard it, they needed a second language to test the code with when they first were writing the installer. So instead of learning one they used a redneck dialect, then since it was fun left it in once things were tested and they added the actual other languages. Eventually it got dropped, but it stuck around for a few versions of the OS.
