Denglisch, Franglais, it’s all Greek to me
It is estimated that up to one third of the world’s population can speak some form of the English language. In the United States it’s already up to two thirds, for instance. But this creeping global threat doesn’t have to stay this threatening, or even creeping. With a little more effort we could ALL be speaking more and better English in no time. Or more and better Denglisch at the very least. If you live here, that is. And that’s the whole problem.
Cultural purists, “oldtimers” and other “talkmasters” here have formed a “team” that’s been “chatten” again lately about how nobody has been “checken” how not “happy” they are about this “bullshit” English language “recycling” their German one so now they’re “brainstorming” for “reform” and may even be “casting” a new “start-up” “coach” to go “shoppen” for a “happyend” or just end up tossing the whole thing in a “box”. And you can bet your “home bank” on that one, buddy - or "Freundchen", if you prefer.

Btw, it is rather nice that English is a second language for so many around the world. It makes communication much easier. I just wish that more English speakers would make the effort to learn a second language...like clarsonimus...but he doesn't count he is a Hermann already. (Comment this)
Someone told me once it was mutated Schwabisch for 'die haben keine Kabel'
I tend to doubt this :|
Anyway - hopefully this doesn't mean that there will be a new new new rechtschreibung or something. I can't take much more language meddling of any kind here. (Comment this)
Out of these devices slowly but surely emerged the mobile phone as we know it today. It obviously sounds dumb to native English ears but it's a short and quite "handy" word, everybody knows what is meant and that's it. (Comment this)
