Title: The Minority? Post by: CKorfmann on May 09, 2009, 07:30:29 pm Is it just me, or are American's a minority on this site? It seems like it's mostly Europeans, Canadians, and Australians. Am I all alone! ???

Yeah, if that was supposed to be german there were a lot of words spelled wrong :P Title: Re: The Minority? Post by: Novelty on May 10, 2009, 10:31:30 am I think it was deliberately spelt wrongly. Also, I think there are lots of Americans on the site who don't usually post.
Title: Re: The Minority? Post by: Johngee on May 15, 2009, 10:26:02 pm Nine, ich bien auch eine Amerikanisher aus Neue Jersey. Is that supposed to be German? I noticed a few spelling mistakes... Sorry about the typo's my Spell Checker doesn't translate very well and my clumbsy fingers stumble over this keyboard - I was just trying to be "clever." Being from New Jersey, USA (GSP exit #105 btw) a lot of foreign meeple assume that I must be half Italian and personnally know the Soprano's, but I'm actually 1/4 German, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 English, and a 1/5 of Scotch. My High School Latin and French has long since been forgotten, but the U.S. Army sent me to Weisbaden Germany for three years (76-79) where I met and married my first wife, so I did try real hard to learn some of the language. After that I also lived near Lancaster, PA for five years (82-87), but the only meeple who spoke Dutch were the Amish Farmers. I was tempted to mimick one of President John F. Kennedy's famous quotations by saying: "Ich bien kein Berliner, ich bein eine Amerikaner" (roughly translated as "I am not a jelly-donut, I am a cup-cake). Now aren't you glad that I didn't? Title: Re: The Minority? Post by: meepleater on May 15, 2009, 11:00:53 pm I thought Berliner was pancake...
Title: Re: The Minority? Post by: CKorfmann on May 16, 2009, 09:37:09 pm Sorry... Well, I thought it was funny.Quote ...and a 1/5 of Scotch. Also funny, what what is the other 5%? ;)Quote ...I also lived near Lancaster, PA for five years... My sister lives in that area. I like it there. I'm originally from NEPA.Title: Re: The Minority?
