I agree with Charlie Strom.  This single most important language for
any person to know, programmer or not, is their native tongue (e.g.,
English).  Written and verbal communication is a skill that can always
be improved.  Clear and accurate communication, whether to people
or to computers, requires clear thinking.  Poor language indicates a
lack of attention to detail -- a potentially disastrous trait in a
programmer.  Enough said.
