The Awful German Language

It's like German except it got rid of all those cases and different plurals and all that, which it doesn't need anyway. The only downside is that nobody can pronounce it properly, and it sounds like a throat disease.

Depends on the type of gift and your humor... but in general we are capable of understanding context, like "which language is the rest of the sentence in". We're actually trying really to improve our skills here, by creating more and more complexer getting constructs mixing German sentences with Germanized English words or English words directly.
I assume you also didn't think we wish every female noun to be dead :)
*purrrr*

Do you refer to the Meistersinger that everyone wants to kill?
