Hoi Scheuri, I am really glad you picked up on the point I might not have been entirely serious in what I wrote and that I did want to provoke ... I mean, I just picked my username then and there as a joke ... Of course I don't deny swiss germans the right to speak their dialect, and I don't particularly mind either. But I do think that our country is small enough without being divided into smaller tribes. And I am sometimes worried at the amount of 'my valley is better than your valley' mentality. It's bad enough that the distance between the linguistic regions is all too apparent in our votes (see last month ...) But most of all, the reason why I wrote this is that what annoys me most of all, is the indiscriminate (and wrong !) use of english which is foisted upon us in our country. Be it the 'Unique' airport, 'Downtown switzerland' ... This is terrible !! It is unfair to english and it makes me feel like I live in a US worshipping country. Tschüss Scheuri wrote: >hi to all of you... >since I am swiss, I guess I can speak here as well... >Actually, I was pretty surprised of the flame-posts...no..I was disappointed... >True, our friend from the romandie didnt write it pretty nice, it had some provocative signs in it. >But nevertheless, have it come so far, that everyone and everything in the net just gets pissed off at once when he/she gets a "not-that-nice" post??? >True is, that w people from the "german" speaking part of switzerland dont have a written language...we only speak our dialekt. >So we use the "high-german" (or however we will call it in english) to write and to express ourselves by using letters. >Afterall we must admit as well, that the german people do the same...just not that extreme! >However...I am just disappointed that my two swissgerman speaking friends were pissed off that fast... >At the other side...aye...if you (welsch) dont like the translation, dont read them... >I made them sometimes as well...but now stopped it since it is boring...I dont even read any of the translations... >good english jokes cant be translated though...;-) >welsch...to your point of making ONE written and spoken swissgerman... >well...no, bad idea...why?...because it is part of our culture...if we want to comunicate with people with other languages we all (I mean all of us!!) change to german, french or english.... >so...there is no point to stop or destroy of such a cultural thing....;-) >thanks...my 2 cents...however >stefan
