Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

It is interesting to me that there are numerous words in the PA Deutsch that are also in Yiddish. I am not sure which direction the ' contamination ' went but I am guessing it was Schwaben Deutsch words that were taken into the Yiddish. Yiddish is influenced by High German, not Schwaben Deutsch. As...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

Yiddish is close to/influence by German. PA Dutch, as has been said, is really PA Deutsch. That is, Deutsch is German. So the Yiddish/Deutsch connection is pretty obvious. I can understand both bits of PA Dutch and Yiddish because of my fluency in High German. There's also a lot of Hebrew in Yiddis...

Do you think the NFL should censure for, fire for, punish for, or otherwise disavow what this football player said in his speech?
No.

I don't think there's a point in getting outraged about something that hasn't happened.

Re: NFL “values”

My main interest is in the values in question, whether the NFL has grounds to claim values, and what they might be. i think The Bee is hitting the nail on the head. Don’t you? Jeremy is just out hunting imagined dinasours, as ...
