Check whether x, y, or glm have been redefined. If not, restart R.

I wouldn't call my function 'glm'. However, I did call one 'binomial'.
That was my mistake. Thanks :)

A few weeks ago I asked how to set my error messages to english, and
Richard Heiberger told me to use 'Sys.setenv(LANG="EN")'.

He used this example, which did work for me at first, but doesn't work
now anymore:

 > Sys.setenv(LANG="DE")
 > 2+"a"

Fehler in 2 + "a" : nicht-numerisches Argument f?r bin?ren Operator

 > Sys.setenv(LANG="EN")
 > 2+"a"

Fehler in 2 + "a" : nicht-numerisches Argument f?r bin?ren Operator

Does someone have any idea why that could be the case?

Use "LANGUAGE" rather than "LANG" as the environment variable.

My sessionInfo() is here:

R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14)

and time to upgrade R
