Any of you read that absolutely hilarious text by Mark Twain about the german language?
It's available in the internet, so you can read it for free, I just can't remember the webaddress now. But for that there is Google and the like. ;-)
It's really worth the search, it's SOOOO funny...

Yes, there are a couple of good musings by Twain - one was an address to some Austrian linguistic society. Good stuff.

As if 'schlusselgruppemacher' was a stretch. Wanted a keyring while visiting Neuschwanstein one day and took a guess. [It didn't fly.]
