English as a second language

]]> This interesting article from the Financial Times discusses how native speakers of English are increasingly losing control of their own language. I have noticed over time that German usage of many English business terms has begun to vary from what I would consider standard English usage, and is stripped of the expressions which make native language so colorful. The result? We may not actually understand the “common” language of business the way we think we do, and non-native speakers may end up expressing themselves more clearly in the end.
