Re: OT: German reputation

I think german has a bad reputation because I now a frensh family, whose
younger son, who was about to learn german at school, ran around the house
making weird grunts and calling it german. And what about the reputation of
being hard that finnish has? And actually, the germans (e.g. we) think the
frensh are funny because they leave out h's everywhere. That's how we
produce a frensh sounding german: leave out the h's. This looks like this:
Ich* ge'e in das aus, wo es frischen Ammelbraten und Interschinken gibt.
A nother example would be that the english speakers of the world turn all
the th's into s's when imitating germans. Get the picture?
