German language cool language
Or at least that’s what most Germans think, if you ask them, in German.
The latest survey says that 87% feel good about the German language, 47% even love the awful thing (just kidding, that was Mark Twain). They’re not too crazy about all the English or Genglish creeping into it, however, nor do they care much for all this modern and far too short, text message-like speak everybody is twittering around with these days.
Nor do they care for the so-called Saxon (eastern German) dialect. Some 30% of Germans asked say they don’t care to hear it all, but this could be more political than anything else. Which is reason enough, I suppose.
“Wir hatten wirklich nicht mit so positiven Gefühlen gerechnet.”
Kommentare auf Deutsch? Klar doch.
