We may have a chance after all

[optimist]

And I still think your German is way better than mine, even if I can still understand a little after these many years

How on earth do you get the Umlaut in ASCII? Any software engineer listening?

P.S. For my kind readers and BB brothers and sisters that do not have filo-germanic ancestry or upbringing, here is the translation to my twin's post (told you we were twins, Night! Probably separated at birth. My siblings always told me I had been found under a railroad bridge! )

Zwilling lieb,
Dein Deutsch ist sehr gut. Es ist frei, daß mein Deutsch schlechter als deines ist.
Aber kannst du meine verstehen?

'Dear twin,
Your German is very good. To be frank, my German is worst than yours. But can you understand mine?'

Please y'all, keep reading my thread! Do not abandon me! I promise to keep to English in my posts (if nobody else provokes me, of course)

Note to self: I knew I could not be depressed for very long... My BB handle is even more appropriate that I had thought.
