it looks like I am German, so why the heck am I writing in English?

To make it short: I didn´t think about it, I just started. I like English.

Most of the web content I read is in English. I think that English is the way to go when writing for the web (despite the optional sacrifices to translate the stuff to all other languages, too).  All the documentation of software, the coding languages themselves and the most web users are in English, or at least understand it. So it is not so new to be foreign tongue but still write English as expression. For instance, the TYPO3 community is adviced to speak English to have a base language for developers from everywhere. I like this idea, though it is kind of self-evident.

You know, I´m not about to say  I would not like a good spoken word in German. I like German, too. But I understand the web as without borders, in defiance of my idea of all the technical restraints. So I want to have users from all over the world on my website, that´s the hint I will give.

Now, that I can be ensured that no German-only reader will have read to this point, I thank you others who do not think that English is acceptable to read more than the few words you get to read when you watch (german) tv. Not that I like the tv much, far from it! But I could not resist asking myself why these folks could not leave all the slogans and tv shows that come from Germany just in German.

There is one other aspect I very like when blogging like this. It´s simply training for my English skills. So if stuff sounds itchy on my blog, it´s me – training. Or you are listening to one of my self produced tunes.

Have a nice day.
