Up until November 2014, Ingrid Bauer at about.com provided excellent German lessons. She was then replaced in spring 2015 by one Michael Schmitz, and since then German about.com has been a disaster; poor English (it is not his native language), spelling errors in the German (apparently no proofreading done), and instead of providing language lessons (grammar, idioms etc.) he gives long rants about his political opinions, made even less legible by his need to italicise every other word. Since about.com provides no email contact directly to the company, one can only hope that some day the owners of this company (at 1500 Broadway, 6th Floor, New York, NY, *******, apparently) will figure out that they are paying an incompetent boob to run their German language site.
