| Please don't take this the wrong way supercreativname (I say it with some humor and out of respect), but I knew you lived in Germany before you actually told me. The way you corrected 'Sankt_Veit' to 'Sankt-Veit' (in English it is Saint Vitus, patron of those w/ Epilepsy) several posts ago. I was su... |

| In Eastern Ohio is where I have heard German used the most. Based on your experience this makes sense. The Mennonites and Amish in Ohio use it primarily. In Central Ohio there are quite a few immigrants from all over. Specifically, I have encountered a few recent German immigrants in Bexley, Ohio. A... |

| supercreativname, Thank-you for your reply to my post. I have to confess that there is some embarrassment when it comes to discussing these kinds of things. It doesn't seem to most people to be a good hobby for a grown man, and I have been told this to my face many times (even laughed at by educated... |

| Thanks so much for the welcome messages. I was away for a while due to illness. Alita, thanks for the welcome and I will definitely share with the community as soon as possible. I have invented several languages, but not being an "official" linguist, I don't know if they could be used in t... |

| High German is a somewhat different language than Low German, rather than a dialect. I am not really sure of the classification, but it always seemed to me that Low German is closer to Dutch, Frisian, or English. In Ohio, Low German is spoken by the Mennonite religious group, and a dialect of High G... |

| That is a valid point RetroGamer87. I also happen to suspect that the Chinese government may visit certain websites hosted in the US that one wouldn't expect. I have a very good friend who has frequent visits to her excellent Catholic-oriented blog from Chinese users, which I guess may be their gove... |

Thanks for the information Bether3. I will be sure to check out the book. I have been watching a lot of documentaries about this subject lately and I feel as if I should keep an open mind.
Good luck with your explorations! |

| Same here Arganger. I think after some reflection that that is also the case for me and maybe the origin of my interest in authoritarian regimes. I often wonder what would happen if you had a well ordered society, if communism started working for everybody, and then what is to stop an evil or sociop... |

| A lot in high school. Getting back to it now. I am starting slow and I can say I have lost a lot of weight. I lift, then recover for two days by doing calisthenics and running/hiking, sometimes yoga or tai chi. I am really out of shape and still learning. This has always been a solitary activity for... |

Any German speakers from Ohio or Pennsylvania here?
Do you speak Pennsylvania Dutch? Low German? Any other kind of German or related continental variety of German? Even Texas German? Dutch?
Danke! |

| In my part of the US many people use a dialect of German as their first language. It is called Pennsylvania Dutch (mispronunciation by Americans of Deutsch). Also Low German is spoken here somewhat widely still in rural areas (this is a language not quite High German and not quite Dutch, spoken in t... |

| To be honest, and hopefully this is not an insult to you, this kind of thing is frightening to me and I don't believe that it exists outside of the mind. You have probably heard this a lot, so again I apologize. However, I have noticed that the more a person takes a psychedelic drug, the more they a... |

| I would also like some of you to consider that according to history and pure numerical data, capitalism has caused just as many deaths and repressions as communism and maybe more, especially when it was starting out. A big difference between the two systems is that capitalism is very fake and uses a... |

| Not sure of this is the right place for this post, but when I was a little kid I started manifesting psychiatric symptoms in addition to some odd neurological/physical ones. Because it looked so much like a psychiatric disorder, anti-psychotics were tried for mood stabilization. They made things wor... |

| That's interesting B19. I have roots in Eastern Germany going back to the 13th century, and several of my family were prominent East Germans and Soviet citizens. I am aware of what people say regarding life in the DDR, including many that I have known from the Eastern Bloc nations. I only know what ... |
