Why is America not speaking German?

[Penguin]

All ze North beloggs to us:


People with my family name have also settled around the Great Lakes.
Personally i find the Texas German dialect or the Pennsylvania Dutch ver interesting. They preserved some old language which isn't used anymore, combined with modern English loanwords and an American speech pattern.

For the Brits: did you know that there are still people in the US who speak English : - a very fascinating dialect!

Maybe its the combination of Manchester Capitalism combined with elitist rule, which you lately promote and which was prevalent in the 19th century, that lead to this mass immigration.

The goal is to aim for the person who you're talking to, not your glasses. When the other one is covered in spit, you're doing it right.
