Why this blog is written in english...
I can't remember exactly why I decided to write in english, but when I decided it, I think I underestimated the efforts it would ask. English is not my mother language, french is. As far as I can remember, I have always loved talking, writing or learning english. It's funny because I never felt the same thing with german. I remember making my german teachers completely mad at high school, instead of being a serious pupil. And now I think it is a pity because I would love to master german as I master english, but this is a little off topic. Don't worry, I'm not going to switch to german. I was rather thinking of getting back to french. I know it a lot more than english.
I think the reason why I changed to english was because I wanted to extend my readership. Well, when I think of it, I should consider that most of the readers are french, and that my readership is limited to a one digit number of readers. So maybe I should start a poll... something like "in which language would you like to read this blog?". This sounds weird. However, feel free to post a comment if you have a preference.
So what, maybe I should ask myself a simple question: do you like to write in english instead of french? Hell yes I do, but I feel very frustrated and I am pretty sure to write awful things for english people. Please excuse me if it is the case... The other day I was even thinking of finding a job where I could exploit a little more my knowledge and my love of this language. But this reflection led nowhere, surely because I am waiting for spring to find a new job.
Anyway, I may change the language of my posts in the next few days / weeks without any further notice. Just to see how it feels to write a blog in french. And I may even switch language several times...

Personally, I don't mind as I understand well both French and English.
So do as you like :)
Alors comme ça tu te spécialises en robinetterie? ;-) La définition du "mitigeur" m'a fait bien sourire ;-)
And concerning the choice of your language, I don't mind. Don't forget that writing has to be a pleasure :-)

Amande : en fait mon mot préféré c'est mitochondrie, mais le mitigeur est bien sympa aussi. Et oui écrire est un plaisir même si je me cherche encore un peu.
GrumZ : AHAHAH merci pour ce good laugh, j'avais zappé que ça venait de CE Pérusse là .
Je me suis posé la question aussi, et j'imagine que je vais faire quelques articles en anglais à l'occaze.
C'est sûr que ça dépend de tes lecteurs, mais il ne suffit pas de changer de langue pour avoir plus de lecteurs, il faut aussi trouver un moyen d'attirer les lecteurs étrangers...
