For years, I’ve been collaborating with several good French clients, and it’s been great!! 🙂 France is very well-known for its high-context culture; a whole bunch of intricate (yet often bombastically bold!) nuances is packed in a spoonful of short sentence… and unfortunately, those nuances are often lost in translation.

Until today I kept wondering how I should get to my trusty old Dashboard apps … then found out that the feature is stripped off entirely from this new Mac OS (“Catalina”): It took me a while to figure this out myself. Oh well… 🙁
