"German is a language fit only for speaking to horses." Knock it off. I'll have you know that Germans have more intelligence per square head than any other people.

Where do you get off calling me a 'troll'? I thought that the Elmer Fudd was cute; Google probably does also. Would you have preferred "Hacker" ? or "Scots Gaelic"?

NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU'RE not a troll!!! Apparently you've not received the many, varied and oh so love-able pings to threads you've never visited...Freepmails from folk who've been banned...you must work HARDER to attain this status!!!!!!
I was thinking how much fun it would be to attack THEM with a language they couldn't translate. They are, after all, trolls. They have less I.Q. than a gnat.

Want me to start talking about German cooking? Heard about the new German-Chinese restaurant? The food is great, but an hour later, you're hungry for power.

Hear about the New York law firms who just opened offices in Denmark? The firms are Rosen-Krantz and Guilder-Stern.

This goy thinks that Free Republic should do its part in encouraging the Yiddish revival. Hereforth, any anti-Israel articles should be preceeded by a "Varf Alert!"

I agree. Yiddish is bastardized German, best left in the ashes of formerly Jewish Europe. Ladino is a far more interesting language-- not to mention practical, as Ladino speakers can communicate freely with the entire Spanish world.
That being said, a big part of me thinks that the Jews of Israel should chuck all languages of the exile, and embrace only Hebrew-- language of the redemption. Those of us in the US should limit ourselves to languages we need for our existence, rather than worshiping the dead Jewish world of Europe.
Then again, I'm Sephardi, so Yiddish has no appeal to me-- except for the mild revulsion I feel when I hear Yiddish triumphed as the supreme Jewish cultural stamp. Honey, it ain't my culture.
Then again, I'm also a Sabbath desecrator, so maybe I shouldn't talk at all.
