There was no doubt nor secret that I used google translate.. I even made fun of that point in the post.. it was a mild rip that I now need to bookmark the site in an attempt to understand what the hell you are talking about.

A slight play on the running theme of you using the full range of vocabulary.

The only German I know is the phrases my grandfather used to utter.. mostly in scolding.

This post made me laugh out loud. I think I know what you were trying to say, but it is obvious you used Google Translate or some such service to write it -- which is what you were accusing me of doing, apparently. šŸ˜

The irony is that my post was lamenting how similar to English German has gotten in some fields, like the internet, where they have simply co-opted English words en masse and just put "-en" on the end to make them sound German (browsen, googlen, etc.).

Thanks for giving me a belly laugh so early in the day, though.

That is actually my uncle's family name. Apparently they got it when they immigrated to Denmark. Probably meaning, "There are those damn Germans again!"

They should have taken it as a compliment. Deutsch can be roughly translated as "sensible" or "understandable," whereas "German" comes from the Greco-Roman epithet Germania, which meant "savages" or "barbarians." It never ceases to amaze me that the German word for German studies is Germanistik instead of some derivative of the word Deutsch.

Nothing personal against anyone, just the way I hear the language.

And they would have looked at themselves as more intelligent ones. :-" Come to think about it, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they were actually in The Netherlands and not Denmark. šŸ‘…

I think a guy speakin' German is pretty bad ass sounding. I agree, though, that a woman speaking German/Deutsch is odd sounding (i.e. my German teacher in HS).
