@MarkPrescher: You don't have to use string resources if you do not want to. I would recommend using them, just so that you get comfortable with the practice. Just because
this app will be English-only does not mean
every app you ever work on will be in a single language. Plus, if this code will be seen by anyone other than yourself (code review, portfolio as part of a job application, etc.),
they might expect you to use string resources. —
