What's your point? Would you like to continue the dispute in German?
My English is fluent enough to write, read, speak, understand and post, so is my German.
Gross generalizations? Yes, because it has little to do with the topic, while you break an argument over the fact that significant nuances, if not entire meanings are lost or altered in translations.
Ps, my analogy, although laughable for you was much less of an attempt to compare languages as it was a perfectly fitting comparison to your statement that English is a more precise language because of the multitude of its vocabulary.
Fact is, the vast majority of English speaking population has no glue of the extent and is practically using only a frightingly diminishing fraction of said vocabulary.
What do I know about your knowledge of German? See post #31. You were married to a German? I thought YOU are the man
Ahhh, you mean a German woman ...!?
Now I can see how precise you articulate yourself, EVEN though you express yourself in English. Very precise!!
Place your next post in German, than we'll see.
