This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Btw, that 'z' thing, originally a typo because of qwertz? Germans don't talk like that.

See the section under dialectal realizations: th-alveolarization. That's the specific pronunciation difficulty that German speakers frequently have with the English 'th' sound. Even native English speakers often have difficulty with the 'th' sound in various contexts.

Nein, wirklich nicht. Wir sprechen nicht so. < see any z in there?

Deutsche die nicht verstehen dass eng z = ger s und eng s = ger ß
