In response to Kiya's post:

I think you are mixing up two different things. As for the English language, I love it too. I watch movies in the OV, read books, etc. I agree with you that it is useful as an international way of communication and that children should grow up with it.

But: I love German too! It is also a beautiful (even if rather complicated) language and should not be replaced with English. And I agree with Alrik when he says that he hates all these Anglicisms.

I mean, just one typical example: what the heck is "Mode for Kids"? (For non-German-speakers: Mode = Fashion). This is neither English nor German, it is rubbish. It has nothing to do with the beauty of the English language. It is just meant to sound "cool". If you ask me, it is only embarrassing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
