Can you detect the incredible irony in your own post???

Quim is not a native English speaker, but he does better in that language than some native speakers I know! I have no trouble understanding him.

And speaking of international aspects: my team's director is Finnish, as are some members, one is from Asia and 2 from the US (including me). We are about to be joined by new members, possible from India, Africa and/or South America. Doesn't get much more international than that. And while English is the official language of Nokia, and everyone is expected to use it, us native speakers have no problem cutting our "foreign" friends some slack, and making an effort to meet them halfway. It's part of being professional adults. In this case, Quim did his part-- is it so hard for you to do yours?

Welcome to TRUE internationalism. Hint: it's not limited to Americans and Englishmen.
