Chris and Klaas, Thank you for an extremely interesting article! I want to make two comments. First, the ICA representative of Indonesia, Ishom Solo, described how cluttering is viewed by the public in his country: "They think that cluttering is something like a ridiculous behavior. People tend to disrespect the way clutterers speak." It is very likely that such negative attitudes are common in some other countries where cluttering is not recognized. Second, our Russian representative, Yulia Filatova, suggested that people in countries that do not have a word for cluttering should use the most common term, "cluttering," which will allow people to have a point of reference and simplify their search for resources in the world literature and also on the Internet.
