Ready or not, English is now the global language of business. More and more multinational companies are mandating English as the common corporate language—Airbus, Daimler-Chrysler, Fast Retailing, Nokia, Renault, Samsung, SAP, Technicolor, and Microsoft in Beijing, to name a few—in an attempt to facilitate communication and performance across geographically diverse functions and business endeavors.

Why English Only?
Three primary reasons are driving the move toward English as a corporate standard.
1) Competitive pressure
Companies that fail to devise a language strategy are essentially limiting their growth opportunities to the markets where their language is spoken, clearly putting themselves at a disadvantage to competitors that have adopted English-only policies.
2) Globalization of tasks and resources
Better language comprehension gives employees more firsthand information, which is vital to good decision making. Swiss food giant Nestlé saw great efficiency improvements in purchasing and hiring thanks to its enforcement of English as a company standard.
3) M&A integration across national boundaries
Negotiations regarding a merger or acquisition are complicated enough when everybody speaks the same language. But when they don’t, nuances are easily lost, even in simple e-mail exchanges. Also, cross-cultural integration is notoriously tricky

A couch potato 🥔 🛋 (letteralmente “Una patata da divano”) indica una persona pigra che non si alza mai dal divano per il semplice fatto che guarda sempre la televisione.

Questa espressione è stata coniata da un italo-americano, Tom Iacino di Pasadena in California. Si sa anche quando: il 15 luglio 1976! Iacino faceva parte di un gruppo di amici che era contrario alla vita sana fatta di buon cibo e molto sport: questi ragazzi preferivano mangiare junk food (“cibo spazzatura”) e guardare la TV. Nello slang americano la TV si chiama the b**b tube, e quindi loro si chiamavano the b**b tubers.

Ma siccome tuber significa anche tubero, Iacino ha cambiato pianta, inventando “couch potato”.
