However, it has been stated in [http://www.mediabistro.com/alltwitter/twitter-language-share_b16109] that only approximately 40% of Twitter messages are posted in English. Ignoring these messages, might have negative effects on the results of the analysis experiment regarding a given topic. For instance, the analysis of customer satisfaction on a product based on only English messages, might be disregarding issues such as support for non-native customers.
