    Often i read the contents before I check which comm it’s in, if at all. That shit really fucks me up sometimes. I’ll be reading something in German and my brain won’t let go, it says “don’t worry I’ll sort that shit out” but it can’t. I fucking read this three times before i checked the comm thinking there is something wrong with me.

        Mom knew a little and taught me even less. Bare with me here as I’m positively going to butcher this as I’m spelling phonetically using my admittedly poor english skills to write using my non existent german skill. Plus I’ve had a few beers at lunch.

        This reminds me of a french girl I met while traveling. I asked her how to say praying mantis in french. She said something like monte religious. So I said monte religious. She gasped and said “YOU BUTCHER”! " Don’t speak my language".

        I instantly fell in love.

          Ich habe einen Plattenspieler. I’ve got a vinyl record player.

          Not bad, not bad at all. I understood it on the first read.

            I had to look it up, if I’m gonna try to thank someone in their language i like to error on trying to be correct and polite.
