I do not kn= ow where LUG is "based"--it is world-wide and wonderful partly because of th= at. English is the international means of communication, like it or not. When= I meet my Swedish colleagues, I should in theory be able to speak Danish to= them, they reply in Swedish and we understand each other. That does work in a p= inch, but it is so much easier to speak English! Incidentally, what does "my=F6s suomeksi" mean? You Finns have an advanta= ge in business. I have been in numerous meetings in Finland when the Finnish participants started speaking Finnish among themselves without the slight= est hint of fear than anyone else would understand them.
