I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude! I just meant that from my personal experience, I'm not too fond of the way German sounds. My native language is English, but I'm not particularly fond of the way it sounds either. It comes right after German on my list of languages I dislike by their sound.
I wasn't trying to make any sort of reflection on Germany, or German people. My apologies to anybody I've upset, but that certainly wasn't my intention.

While I think racism should be sent to Mordor I don't feel offended by what you said. My descendents are German and I still have a very German last name. However, I don't believe the language to be the prettiest sounding of languages. I am rather fond of Portuguese myself. However Russian is similarly harsh like German, but I like the sound of it.

Perhaps to offend everybody equally, we should send the entire concept of language to Mordor?
No, I'd rather not... I think food poisoning should go to Mordor (influenced by current events in my life ) as should prolonged conjunctivitis. Less specifically, all illnesses should go there.Also, birds singing at obscene hours in the morning. This may seem a little harsh, but why birds feel compelled to chirp outside my window at 4:00am is beyond me; the only explanation I can salvage is that they are servants of Mordor. |

People who are greatly offended by comments that were not meant to be offensive should go to Mordor, particularly if their name begins with a "G".
Actually, let's make this more general. People who are easily offended should go to Mordor. And also, people who are constantly worried about offending someone should go to Mordor, too. That's where those wishy-washy-politically-correct types belong.

I'll send people who don't understand what political correctness is to Mordor.
Not you phantom, you know what you're talking about (as always) but it sickens me when someone moans about political correctness, when it's his own obnoxious self that is causing the trouble. Likewise, people who accuse such things as, say, long lines in the post office as being down to political correctness gone mad. That's just idiotic. Political correctness itself is usually very silly. However, people who hide behind the barricade entitled 'Political correctness is bad!' are often monstrous sorts. As for language, dialects, etc...a dislike for one is so obviously not racist that I'm not going to comment on it any further.

If birdsong is in Mordor then Mordor simply cannot be that bad a place.
I assign the combination of the words 'have' and 'got', as in "I have got low intelligence." No, there's no 'got' necessary. You have low intelligence and that's it.

I don't think any language should be send to Mordor since I find all of them interesting.
But I do think that Dutch is the prettier version of german and I can't stand it when people pronounce the z as a zee!!!! That pronouncation should be send to Mordor and never heard of again.
