.ch email: phishing in German, easy to spot

The good thing about having a personal email ending in .ch is that a lot of the phishing I get is in German, so it makes it easy to spot.

The good thing about having a personal email ending in .ch is that a lot of the phishing and spam I get is in German, so it makes it easy to spot (I don't speak German, or very poorly at best). So, please, nobody tells them that a third of Swiss don't speak (Swiss-)German 😆

Interestingly, it also suggests emails written in English are more likely to get deleted and not even make it to the spam folder. I suppose there is more training data in English than in German.
