Although totally correct (I never heard that before) your teachers=20 really must have - successfully - tried to chase their students away from *that* language! I guess they never had read real and=20 beautiful German (in fine prose or - unforgettable - poetry). It's still worse than my first fossile Romanian text book with=20 phrases all like: "Tatãl taie pâinea si spune rugãciunea..." (The father cuts the bread and speaks the prayer)... (BTW, just now, I'm re-reading Franz Werfel's delicious little prose "Eine blassblaue Frauenschrift" (about: a pale-blue woman's=20 handwriting) Although accustomed to mostly dealing with pretty profane texts, I'm excited!) co'o mi'e .aulun. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WRITERS WANTED!
