Do you really not speak German at all? Not even a tiny bit? You even got the genders right...

I think the question to be asked is where can we learn this talent??

Uh, Milo, when posting in public it's best to read the whole thread that you are posting in. Xenoglossy, glossolalia, and glossologia have all been discussed.

As to the German, maybe I'll go find the page you cut-and-pasted from. Probably it has an English language version.

Maybe it's time for Noam Chomsky to recant his recantation ...

What a idjit!

Am I, like Noam Chomsky, doomed to a life of endless recantation? Now I, due to human frailty and forgetfullness, must apologise to the likes of zmjezhd, Faldage, and Annastrophic.

No! I did not suddenly start writing in German. The truth struck me last night in the middle of a dream, and here is the reconstruction...

Last Tuesday night Sebastian Voigt, a German ichnological paleontologist examining vertebrate trace fossils in Alabama, was spending the night at my house and we were drinking bourbon and coca-cola. I went to bed early.
Then, last night, I remembered that I told him that he was wecome to use my computer.

And now I would like to apologise to the likes of smjezhd, Faldage, and Annastrophic for my indeliberate deception.
