Sorry, I was meaning that when you see Eng you directly think english,
not oh, that's the iso-code that means english. Probably not the best
example. So what I'm trying to say is that whatever we have should
make native speakers think instantly of the language rather than
having to look up iso codes or remember the flags for other countries
or any other longer processes.
Thanks,
