Do you consider western europe as a extension of america?

[Mindful]

Whatever they think about the UK they don't seem to know a lot.
Soccer, The Queen, and Castles seem to sum it up.

Britons don’t call it soccer?

No, but yanks do, and had I said football that would have confused them, and let's face it - it doesn't take a lot to confuse them. Though no doubt you will think I'm just being facetious.

No doubt about it.

I miss some. Where is this little discussion we had about colonies from my German point of view?

And if you don't mind, tell us about "Germanification" of Germany - when and how "Bühnenaussprache" was invented, and how "Hochdeutsch" was forced to become one state language of all Germans.

"Hochdeutsch" (~German of the Highlanders) was made from Martin Luther in one of the first mass-printings of the beginning information age between 1522 - 1545 in the "Biblia Deudsch". Indeed it was not the "German of the Highlanders", because this were the Bavarian languages and the Alleman and Swabian (=Sueben) languages in the South of German, Bavaria and Austria. It was a combination of German dialects from the middle of Germany. It became over schools the standard language in Germany for administration, science and arts . Meanwhile speak the most Germans "Hochdeutsch" in their daily life and if someone uses the word "deutsch" then nearly everyone thinks about "hochdeutsch". But indeed still exists many dialects/languages from the German language. Well known is for example in the North of Germany "Platt". English and Platt have lots of common elements.

This song here is from Cologne (Middle of Germany)


This from Bavaria (South of Germany)


This is from Friesland (North of Germany)


That's "Hochdeutsch" (standard German):

I live in a western european country, and I think it is nearly the same as america, you will have halloween parties, you will have santa, coke, mcdonalds, sushi, and everything. Even a own local league of american football. Superbowl in the US is live on TV. And majority speak english. Maybe only very very old people dont as they learned french in school, now everyone speaks english under 60.

Was always amazed how many people spoke English in western European countries, thank God. Heck Mort, i could introduce you to some born in the USA, you might have trouble understanding, speaking their own native tongue. Few people speak a foreign language here as a second language, though not unusual to see shop keepers in large European cities talking multiple customers fluently in multiple languages as natural a falling off a log and more easily understood than some of those here I spoke of. Haven't been over since the 90s but there was a lot of difference back then.

Why would you think God for Europeans speaking English?
God doesn't exist and they do have schools.

We have schools because the people who believe in god and trust in the abilities of his children made the schools and universities.

I've heard some good stories from people who have travelled overseas, but the bad stories out number the good ones...

This is good news, considering the behaviour and pre-conceptions most Americans have who come over here.

I've always wanted to go to Scotland, for several reasons.
But that will never happen, as I don't fly on public planes and I do not like being on boats or ships.

On the flipside here..........I've met people from Russia, Mexico, Venezuela, Japan, South Africa, India, and England. I have to say they were very nice people, and only had nice things to say about their travels. I love meeting people from other parts of the globe, because I like to pick their brains on what they like in other countries versus the country they are from. It's fun to learn stuff like that.

Everybody is nice.

Sometimes.

Some of the people are nice all of the time and all of the people are nice some of the time but not everyone is nice all of the time.
