What a lovely, wackified language we speak.

There is no more degenerate kind of state than that in which the richest are supposed to be the best.

I swear I know the difference and I'd swear that I originally wrote it correctly. Spell-checker? Typo? Bogspot cack? Fuck knows.

Fixed now, thanks.

systematic german torture by BlueOregon (2.00 / 0) #6 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 11:03:32 AM EST

I believe you are looking for this ... sure, reading it is fun, but look for an audio file ... then it becomes hilarious (in a it's-cruel-to-laugh-at-people sort of way).

is one of the sound differences most likely to cause american children to need speech therapy (IIRC it's second only to sh->s).

something i've NEVER understood by aphrael (2.00 / 0) #9 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 03:42:35 PM EST
about the stereotypical german accent (think dr. strangelove, for a moment) is how the american 'v' sound gets prounced as an english 'w' sound by certain germans.

I mean, WTF? The english 'w' sound doesn't exist in hochdeutesch --- and that letter uses the english 'v' sound.

The day I figure this one out will be better than winning the MegaMillions and Powerball lotteries combined. I have no idea how or why they come up with this, but every fucking Kraut does this, bar none.

Ask ti_ammoniacal if you don't believe me. <p As far as th/s, my brother used to mix up his Effs and Esses and Ess-Aitches. I had so much fun getting him to say "I want to sit down to suck this lollypop." He was no dummy, though; the fucker learned to charge me $0.25 to do it.

woof.
