I love it that we find so much to say about our lingo. As I said before,
we're unique, our language can't be compared with any other, it has nothing
to do with East-West-South or North it's us, it's ours.
Someone corrected me about the Switzer Deutsch. I agree when I first
started working in Zurich and a Swiss called I said "can you say this in
German?" Everyone in the office said "you can't say this, you have to say
can you repeat this in Schrift (written) German!" Coming to a new country
and hearing what's supposed to be German you're just stunned.
Cornel, your Amen to me and Ruth I can just say, YES Amen let's go on as
long as we can. It's a pleasure and as Hardy said once we're gone who'll be
able to discuss subjects as we do? None. anny
