Marianne is from Cologne, Germany. Felidsche naturally responded in German, which should have been noticed by everyone from the mere looks of it.

German is still spoken by about 100 million people as their first language. Most Germans, Austrians, and Swiss are only all too willing to write their contributions to such message boards in English, even if they can´t really express themselves well at all and are afraid of sounding like fools.

In all due respect to the fact that most users here are native speakers of English (which is a wonderful language I dearly love) - please respect our German language if it is used here, and don´t act as if someone using it was introducing an outlandish African tribal speak or just typing a random combination of letters.

Sorry for being a little bit sensitive here, but I thought I had to get it out of my system.

And by the way, Marianne is indeed breathtakingly beautiful and lives only 60 miles away from my place....
