Writing English

While being quite happy to write in English, I still face some problems: style of writing. While in German a sophisticated level of language is expressed in the use of context-related difficult vocabulary (you are the expert!), the state of the art in English seems to be to put things as easy as possible (you are only the expert if you can explain it to ordinary people!). I actually much favor the later but agree that sometimes it seems to oversimplify things...

A nice article on this in German.
