Hi all,

I just received today’s Insiders e-mail: there’s some German in my French!

If anyone still had doubts, this’s another proof nothing changed but the name
between VIP and Insiders because it has happened a couple times too when it was
called VIP

“Good enough is the only best”!

———
¹ Actually e-mails: I once paid with PayPal, which is on another e-mail
address, and now I receive VIP/Insiders e-mails on both addresses.  Yep, I asked
customer services (as an aside to another problem) but nothing changed despite
their assurances.

Oh

Is it in the same two spots?
That would hint at a simple explanation: one language is missing and the others
were shifted one place up in the database

They should still have someone proofread.

——
Even more off-topic:
That reminds me of the problem that happened during the signature of Japan’s
surender at the end of WW2.  There were a lot of people to sign the agreement. 
And they were to sign _above_ their printed names and function.  But, of course,
one of them signed _below_ his name and then the next ones had to do the same.
Diplomatic conundrum
And it wasn’t a time when they could have said “just print another copy and start
again”

It is exactly the same paragraphs as the screenshots you uploaded.
