I've just found out the correct pronunsciation of 'Eichhornchen'. Up until now, I've lazily been pronouncing it as 'Ikehornen'. Who am I kidding, I'll still pronounce it like that coz it's easier!

Although, the 'Ike' should have a more throaty 'dislodging the phlegm' sound to it.

My god man! As you are generally held to be in charge of dotting the i's ,Crossing the T's (in a literary sense) and hyphenating Democrat-Republicans...4 which we are grateful;

should you not also insure that O's are umlaut'd as well?? Let's be consistent: It's Eichhörnchen

I wonder if during the Battle of the Bulge, Skorzeny's disguised saboteur troops (operation GRIEF) weren't asked to say "Squirrel" in addition to what baseball team wears pinstripes!

Ya shoulda just said 'squirrel' Kamerad!

They'd probably have given themselves away by pronouncing it correctly. (huuuuh?)

The Germans did, it's been said, ask suspected spies to use the word eichhörnchen, knowing full well that not many foreigners could pronounce it.

(PS: I can now get an umlaut into my keyboard text, thanks to Joefour, but I haven't been able to change my forum title... could Steve fix that for me then?)

The man credited with writing the song "do the hokey pokey" sadly passed away last week,although it was already a tragic time for the family they were left devastated by the resulting chaos at the funeral home when they tried to put him in his coffin, they put his left leg in first and things proceeded to go downhill from there.

The sun never sets on the British Empire.

I mean seriously, you guys need to sleep. 24 hours of sun would be a nuisance, and would cause massive global effects of weather, if one spot got all the sun, all the time.

I love you guys, you bore my great nation from your womb, and now sit proudly, and in fear of your terrible child cut in your mold, but you have to stop hogging up all the sun. It is cold as (expletive deleted) here, and still snowing once a week, and I am sick of it.

STOP HOGGING UP ALL THE GOSHDAMMITFREAKING SUN BRITAIN!!!

Your army, the American Navy and drones/ cruise missiles, we can get those bastards good.

Just give me the word, and I will text President Obama and tell him to mobilize the drones, and institute a draft.. We can go Stalingrad on them, encircle and destroy.

Hogging up all the damn sun! An absolute outrage! I demand recompense!

HANG ON just one cotton-pickin' minute... you lot can't say "squirrel" either: don't you call 'em "squirls"? So... if the real GI's caught some fake GI's, made them say "squirrel" and they said "squirrel", they'd have shot them because they didn't say "squirl", right?

@ soopaman2: on the subject of secret-agents, you need to be careful, chum, 'cos I am one:

(I'm a Brit, not German, see? Confused? You should be...)
