      It’s better because every post with an English word gets

      SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN

      as a response

        And yet when I try to SPRICH DEUTCH to actual live Germans they give me a pitying look and firmly reply in perfect English

          perfect English

          Such a thing does not exist in Germany.

            Only because of their exacting standards. Even when I lived in Germany in the 90s the only time I had trouble understanding someone speaking English was when our realtor was trying to be racist but didn’t know the English words.

              The bar was “perfect”, not “understandable” English.

                See, that is what I mean. Nobody speaks “perfect” English, not even native speakers, because languages are not prescriptive. Their function is to communicate ideas and if you have successfully communicated then you have used language “perfectly”.

                  So you agree “perfect English” doesn’t exist in Germany. What was your point again?

                    See, you might have noticed that I never claimed perfect English existed in Germany (or anywhere). You seem to be attempting to win an argument that doesn’t exist.

                    This is why we love Germans. Unironically.

            Yes the English qualities in Germany itself are a total shitshow compared to the countries around Germany (except France and Italia)

        Not anymore. Currently there is a notion to fight against it.
