I ask because sometimes I feel very silly when writing clumsily in English and even sillier when I have to look up how to spell a particular word.

I want to know if I'm the only idiot that it happens to or if on the contrary it's something generalized.

(Mi idioma es el Español, por cierto)

Depends. Generally English, unless they are "directed" to one specific person like the professor who's gonna grade it. But even then I might go with English anyway.

Oh I also use my language when I'm leaving an important warning to myself in a config file, like "this is needed because X! don't touch it! If you touch it do Y!"
