I actually read somewhere that this was when the world´s leading countries voted over what would be the "world language". My husband (English, living in Germany and still struggling with the German genders and cases) says the world has no idea of how lucky we all are that it didn´t happen. German can be a b#?%ch sometimes

Anne Marie, so you´ve got German heritage?
