German scares me. Six different words for "the" that I've discovered so far. A skirt is masculine, a tomato is feminine, but of course a girl is neither. And they put the second verb at the end of the sentence, just in front of the first verb which they also sometimes put at the end of the sentence, and that's assuming one of the verbs hasn't broken in two with the second half staying put and the first half going to, yes, the end of the sentence.
I understand now why the germans like to be so efficient. It's because so much of their mental energy is used up in basic communication that they have to make the most of what little is left.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
