[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 81784, member: 126"] Re: A Thank You to our Non-Native English Speakers Yes, but with German you can figure out what the long nouns mean from the assorted small nouns assembled to make them up. In English we confuse matters with almost identical words having completely different meaning in different context. Written english is sufficiently imprecise that people are often offended by emails and posts due to this lack of clarity. JR PS: I can drink in German, plenty of practice at the messe. [/QUOTE]
