in a transcript of an interivew. As well as the translation, "ich" is missed a lot, losing the "I" in English sounds wrong though...

Work in Progress
I've finally started on what will become an extremely lengthy article about globalization. It won't be finished until next weekend, and likely a few days after that. I don't think I'll post very much until it's done. People have been waiting for it (hi Paul!) for a long time.
Unfortunately, mere hours after I started working on the globalization article I found a tempting alternative to write about. SDB has written a pair of articles about the Tragedy of the Commons. I have some substantial disagreements with what he's said — you see, I'll gladly yield him foreign policy, but economics is my turf — but I don't know if I'll be in the mood to switch gears or not.

Ken Cox
: I can't comment specifically on UK usage here, but IMO this is distinctly informal usage (as you said). Pity the asker didn't provide more context.
