exactly the place for this kind of discussion.
But I suppose the European countries have been competing against one another
for a very long time.
And so do their languages, to put the whole thing back on linguistic tracks.

I can hardly imagine the plot of destroying Germany (seems impossible)
and being allied with our most loved enemy (sounds odd).Freedom,
Arnaud
