The rule #6 got my attention first in the "FILELIST$()" example in the QB64 Wiki. Somewhere the literature bragged along the lines of "open at any time, from any screen and when finished, it restored the previous screen". Usually this is expected from professional paid programmers.
I'm not keen about type suffixes except dollar-sign but it could help to tell what is the variable type straight away. However there is no such benefit for UDT's especially "AS _MEM". Therefore those will have to be surrounded by comments wherever possible.
One other thing, that would surely peak off a lot of people. If the program is to be shared, and it has a lot of comments not in English then... maybe it's better not to share it unless the author is willing to change the language. I can read comments well in Spanish, could follow along most of the time in Italian or Portuguese, less often in French, but it starts breaking down for German, Dutch, Greek, Slavic languages, Turkic languages, Asian languages etc. Oh well but most Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean etc. know to write stuff in English that is to be shared which demonstrates their education.
I was ordered in another forum to "learn Russian" LOL. I wish I could, it's the language that interests me the most this year.
Oh another thing, the names of the variables don't have to be changed to English, just the comments! Please don't hurt me...
It should only be for a program with a lot of lines of code. It varies from person to person what a "large" program is and what is to be called a "project".
