​I believe we want the adverb, globally, for how we reach, rather than the​
adjective, global, that limits the set of learners and educators, some of
whom may value Sugar's strength at being local.

In fact, that seems to be part of our mission:   ...a collection of tools
that enable them to explore, discover, create, and reflect in their local
language.
