    “Ich helfe Ihnen gerne” or “ich kann Ihnen gerne helfen” is what I would expect. Although help is generally less generously offered :-) but that has less to do with grammar.

    The German is just like the English: “ich würde gerne mal diesen Berg besteigen” — “I’d love to climb this mountain some day” — lots of assumptions implied, and it may never happen. I’d like tech support be a bit more certain that they want to help.

    But isn't it also the same as:

    "Ich würde gern Ihnen helfen"
    vs
    "Ich will dir helfen"

    Or does being so direct in German sound less abrasive than in English?

    This is a P68/Dulcimer iPod prototype we (very quickly) made before the true form factor design was ready. Didn’t want it look like an iPod for confidentiality - the buttons placement, the size - it was mostly air inside - and the wheel worked (poorly)

    Tech support: "I'd be glad to assist you." You would if what? So this is kind of a conditional tech support line here, but you won't tell me what that depends on? What's wrong with present tense? (Or, better, drop the fluff and give everybody their life back?)
    Aaron Parecki
    Doesn't German do that too? "Ich würde gern..."

    Similarly, "I want to help you" sounds weirdly aggressive compared to "I would like to help you"

    The Twitch breach revealed more than 120 internal security tools developed by the Twitch security team. Modern security teams should aim to be like this.

    I’m analyzing all of the security tools developed by Twitch Security and planning to release a detailed write-up. Stay tuned!

    A lot of people are messaging me about yesterday's tragedy that was an on-set firearms death (because I am a film armorer, for those who don't know).

    As both a human and a professional, it is extremely upsetting. My thoughts are with Halyna Hutchins' loved ones

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
