I prefer to insult in Czech, their curses are surprisingly unlike ours for the most part. And they are hilarious. x)

As for the need for English... Well, Runet is boring, isn't it? Plus, I always choose my fads in a way that a hell of a lot of English is either required or at least very handy. So there's that.
no, you're not getting out of here. no way.

I mean, English is the current lingua franca, it is a gigantic hole in one's education not to know English to a useful level. In basically any customer service related job you will need it at some point. Not to mention the Internet is mostly in English. I mean, yeah, all languages have their own small meme circles, but who watches those?

I wonder if Apocrypha will tell Mateusz to change his theories to match his current username...

I have an answer!

No. For a few reasons.

1. I don't want to set the precedent that if someone decides to change their username then Mateusz has to respond with more work on his end.

2. This is more artsy, I guess, but I like to think that those theories were made in a certain point in time, and the coordinates also reflect my name in a certain point in time. To change all that stuff to reflect my new name would sort of ruin the complete image of the theories in a snapshot in the game's and community's history. It would almost be like preserving it as it was. In resin if you will.

3. Keeping them as written by Jatsko would also fall in line with my name on the Wiki. I cannot change my name from Jatsko to Apocrypha as Wiki rules state that each user can only change their name once, and I burned that on Error 3113 → Jatsko. And it makes more sense to have the theories in both the Wiki and the SubVerse under the same author name for consistency's sake.

So no requests for name changing necessary, at least that's how I view it :D

Yeah, these are reasonable arguments.
