I think my english communication skills are good enough for
communication. But as a german who learned "Oxford" english it
is absolute impossible to understand americans from Texas and other
southern states. Maybe they should learn to speak a English first.

Corporations will only end this practice if they see
they’re losing their customer
base as a consequence. Let’s start doing our part by starting a grass-roots
movement...

Don’t forget that last year’s Ruby Conference was held in Austin, Texas.
