This would be good even if we only cared about the Engligh language:

a)  The English enjoy eating English muffins.
b)  The Incas enjoy eating Incan muffins.

(I don't claim that either of those statements are factually correct;
quite the opposite!)

I agree that it's probably even more important in (at least some)
other languages.

My other language nit:  "The Americans have started building The
Women's Sufferage in Boston!"  Groan.

Matt, who is using variations of the word "Inca" at an alarming
        pace today.
