Agreed. But debating the subject is harmless, and lots of fun. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Another paradox since English is a Germanic language first and foremost.
There is of course the story of the simultaneous translator (into English) at an EU conference with the long-winded German speaker at the podium. The English listeners were a little surprised to find that at one point the voice in their ears simply stopped and there ensued a silence which was stretching into minutes before an exasperated cry of 'The verb, man, what's the **** verb?'

Some of the 10 seem rather redundant as their English equivalents have been doing the rounds for quite long enough not to have to dress them up as u-words; ear worm particularly!
I'm quite happy to stick at the one German word in my vocabulary which captures everything you need to know about life, the universe and everything; schadenfreude.

Just need help with a few of the details.
Firstly, does anyone have a good idea on how to get rid of six or seven billion people?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

If it's returned "Not known at this address", try again - he's just the shy, retiring sort...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
