By Schenkel Heinrich, bis 2004 Dozent für Physikdidaktik an der ETH Zürich I have quite often the impression (1) that the articles in ETH Life are written in a clumsy English with a strong influence of German, even Swiss ways of expression and even with mistakes. Do you rely on automatic translation for a first draft? And do you have a real native English speaking person reviewing the articles before you put them online? If ETH goes more and more English, this should be done with an excellent quality of language! Footnotes:
