I found the Denglish article to be very interesting.  German is like English in that it accepts words from other languages. That is one of my favorite features of these languages, a feature I believe are weaker for not having.
When I started reading, I thought it was funny that more instances of German words appearing in English.  Then I realized that a great deal of English vocabulary comes from the same place as German.  In fact, up until 1066, the version of English spoken, Old English, was closer to German than modern English.  I cant wait to try to read Beowulf again in the original Old English once I've learned a little more German.
The advertisements made in Denglish are quite interesting, and reveal a lot about how interconnected the German economy is with those of other nations.  Advertising agencies even display employment ads in English to stress that knowing English is a job requirement.
The last sentence of the article was of particular interest to me, the code-switching book.  As borders continue to become less and less defined, the prevalence of code-switching seems poised to keep growing.  I wonder when it will hit a critical amount that the worlds languages begin to blend into one.
