I’m surprised by the good service of the browser app from http://www.grammarly.com – it’s not easy for me to write English because I’m German. I started to learn English by writing a daily blog. In English, because in my hometown the politicians did not allow to use the title “COME TOGETHER” for a local music festival. They forced the musicians to use the German language. Since I write consistently English. And I’m happy because I noticed: I have readers and they do understand me. I have to admit that I’m surprised because I’m writing a special “Frizzenglish”.

I think it’s brilliant that you blog in English – Frizzenglish or not. We English are generally so poor at speaking others’ languages. I feel it is rather bad mannered that we don’t try harder. So danke schoen, dear Frizz.

Frizz, your English is excellent. Bravo! I’m so glad you do write in English and therefore are accessible to me since my German is limited to a very few words.
Be well and blog on.

Frizz your English is superb. I have about 3 German words that’s all. You should be very proud of yourself, its one thing to speak another language but to write it, especially one as crazy as English . . .
