I wonder how much fun they are having out there that I will probably never get to experience... (lemm.ee)

It’s better because every post with an English word gets

SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN

as a response

And yet when I try to SPRICH DEUTCH to actual live Germans they give me a pitying look and firmly reply in perfect English

perfect English

Such a thing does not exist in Germany.

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Only because of their exacting standards. Even when I lived in Germany in the 90s the only time I had trouble understanding someone speaking English was when our realtor was trying to be racist but didn't know the English words.

The bar was “perfect”, not “understandable” English.

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

See, that is what I mean. Nobody speaks "perfect" English, not even native speakers, because languages are not prescriptive. Their function is to communicate ideas and if you have successfully communicated then you have used language "perfectly".

So you agree “perfect English” doesn’t exist in Germany. What was your point again?

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

See, you might have noticed that I never claimed perfect English existed in Germany (or anywhere). You seem to be attempting to win an argument that doesn't exist.

I have few hobbies :(

This is why we love Germans. Unironically.
