Let’s talk English

June 28th, 2007 by Klaus Wiedemann

After having received very good feedback from our network and from the audience we are writing for (thanks!), we decided to continue our blog entirely in English.

Why?

• As we all work in an international setting (and the official language in our company is English anyway, with people coming from four continents), we considered it impolite to exclude a part of our colleagues.
• The product we are currently developing (still in stealth mode – more news to come in a few weeks) is targeting an international audience, and German is just not the prime language of the Internet…
• Additionally, we found much more inspiration, interesting and relevant news on international sites. As we intend to blog in a professional environment, we felt to have a better selection by going international.

Sounds logical. What about the downside?

Well, most of the people blogging here are not native speaker. Therefore, if you are looking for a role model blog in english grammar, this might not be your first choice. Any feedback is welcome!
