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

        SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN

        as a response

              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.

                  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”.

              Yes the English qualities in Germany itself are a total shitshow compared to the countries around Germany (except France and Italia)

      Grammar and syntax aside, it’s basically /me_irl for our German-speaking compadres. Most other languages - French included - generally have a community analogous to most of the popular English-language communities.
