Where are the headquarters?
The English word for ‘Hauptsitz’ is ‘headquarters‘ or ‘head office’. Believe me, the word ‘headquarter’ does not exist!
No idea if this is true!
Why not start a conversation with a surprising fact? Something like: “Did you know that the fastest growing fingernail is on the middle finger and the slowest growing is on the thumb. I wonder if this is really true …!”
Amazing!
Originally the exclamation mark (that’s this mark here: !) was used for an actual exclamation, like ‘My goodness!’. Today it tends to be overused. So be careful.
You might like to limit yourself to one or two exclamation marks in an email. You don’t want to make your writing look unprofessional, do you?

Does that mean we love horses?
“Go anywhere in England where there are natural, wholesome, contented, and really nice English people; and what do you always find? That the stables are the real centre of the household.”
George Bernhard Shaw
What is a boss?
So what is a boss? I’d say that he or she is someone who is late when you are early, and early when you are late.
Do you know what I mean? 😉
