Our international financial hearts flutter at

Thousands of transactions per millisecond

The revenue doubles, the net earnings triple

And the employees turnover rate quadruples

The polyglot Switzerland

Switzerland is a polyglot nation. For the most part, people in Zurich and Berne speak German, while those in Geneva converse in French. Well, we can approximate the country to be a bilingual one, just like Canada is, can't we?

Nonetheless, pragmatically speaking, there may be a glut of human languages on the earth, given the rabid advancement of this internet age, whose preponderant language of choice is English, for the sake of communication and presentation.
