FML, the day I dreaded has come!
We got a client that is from our country.. meaning they speak what I speak, but I do not type what they read..
I hate writing emails in my native language and with proper grammar.. I haven't done that since I finished with high school and they're full of typos.. Even after spellcheck and grammar check and everything it's faaaaar worse than my English.. fuzck!

    Yep, same thing here. Just feels weird writing official email in native language.

    Holy shit, what's going on around you? My native language is the only one I am able to perfectly speak and write. My English, though not bad, is much worse compared to my mother tongue.

    We do all our written correspondence in English, even with our customers down the hall.

    I fear I'll unlearn my native language some day, I sometimes already have to google translations English-German 😅

    @Kage Hhaha yeah um... No... Would have to redo it everytime because I lack native words even for everyday items... It's like my brain detects my location and turns off native support when I'm at work.. o.O

    for me it's the opposite, I can write in my native language more professionally and more expressive than the average of people. but in the most of the cases I use English
