True, Too



Reckon maybe German cats sound really different?
At least that goes for ravens, after all.

I just wonder why it doesn´t say neo.sagt.miau

I really hate Denglish.

Reckon, I´m an "old fart" here ;-)

Or what do you think about mixing languages up so strongly, "inventing" new words. Natural process? Some more thoughts about it here: Speak German Part I, II, III and IV.

Portuguese cats also say "miau". I agree, I don't see the reason for using an English word in that sentence. In the technological field it's quite normal for English words to be used.

I do tend to drop a few French words into my English Iris, just happens without me even really thinking about it 😊 How fast is time flying by, are you two getting excited about the trip?

Can you really hear a difference, Sami?
Yes, agreed in technological terms it does make sense (at times).

Grace, right, now that you mention :-) Maybe cause it´s both not my mother tongue I don´t realise it that much!
Well, trolleys are bought, some stuff to bring along, too. Just have to find out if we finally have internet in the cabin, otherwise I have to work out my Perth-list here, so: yes: Excited :-)

I can´t believe he really was that dumb to say that! Kohl, right?
Though... President Bush with the children´s book upside down, a fake or not?

Shoot! I'm always inventing words. :-)
