It's clear that English is easier for this point :)

I don't know what others think but personally I'm not comfortable with
"du" (German), "tu" (French) in slides. I think of it more as a way to
speak to everyone ("sie", "vous") rather than any real formal speaking,
this way, at least in my head, it's semi-formal while being heard as
formal by anyone willing to hear that.

Cheers
