I kinda love that about German though. In Dutch we don’t do that and I feel like it’s approaching silly levels with the English words we just take over as is, even if there is or could be a much better Dutch alternative. With how much we want to be America and how badly we want to be relevant it just seems very try-hard, while Chad Germany is confident in its language and culture and doesn’t need to bend to Angelsaksisch gebrabbel.

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:
