What's his user name?
- aashaykumar92 12y agoI'm not saying he doesn't have a user name but a user name is not required to read HN and click on the links.
- bignaj 12y agoDid anyone else notice that Satya has quite a habit of using run-on sentences? I also thought this while reading his letter to employees.
- aroch 12y agoIt seems to be a fairly common occurrence in Indians who learned English as a second language (and I would guess other ethnic groups as well).
- bignaj 12y agoSatya has been in the US for quite a while though. For a C-level exec of such a prominent company you would think an editor could help or maybe it's something he could work on personally. I tried to chalk it up to "personal style" but it's really egregious. Might be a bit beyond what can qualify as "style" and more towards the "grammatically incorrect" side of the spectrum.
- mahyarm 12y agoDescribing programming details seems to encourage complicated run on sentences in my experience.
- r00fus 12y agoIs that possibly the culture at Microsoft? I knew a guy who moved from Intel to Microsoft and I noticed his speech tended to more verbosity after the move.
- bignaj 12y agoNo, it's definitely not. Some execs tend to ramble, but they don't use run-on sentences. Some of Microsoft's other execs are actually pretty staccato (Kevin Turner).
