I know of a good opportunity in Basel for someone who is a native (American) English speaker (or a native English speaker with native-level American English spelling, grammar, etc.), with a degree - or a lot of experience - in Journalism, English or Communications. It is a full time position, with a bit of pressure and dealing with corporate executives.

PM me if you want more details.

Wow. I didn't realize there was a demand for this. Which language: Navajo? Cherokee? Cheyenne? Cherokee?

Fecious, anyone?

I meant just that. A person whose native language is American English. Not a Native American who speaks English, not a person who speaks a Native American language from one of the tribes.

We don't have "mother tongues" (that's a rather obscene sounding phrase, actually) in the US.

I was being facetious. But what is fecious?

Fecious = noun, Shelley when she forgets to check her spelling before posting.

So a native Brit would be ok, as long as they have been trained to misspell words?

Are these executives just too uncomfortable with reading non-American English? I once wrote a report for an American company - then they objected to my spelling of "fibre". The report was for internal use only, intended for a very small audience. I invited them to build a bridge and get over it.

Hello,

I know it's been months since you've posted this...happened to be surfing, looking for employment opportunities and came across this. It interested me very very much. Is information still available. Looking forward to your facetious reply.

Cheers,
Maria
