Hey Nick, try ancient English, and you will feel right at home. Thou shalt not be confused with the roots of thy native tongue

Ok, does not fit the THE problem, but takes care of that ubiquitous YOU.
Good one Axel! However I still struggle with objects having masculinity, femininity or neutrality! Der Vater is obvious, das Land I can accept, but why o why is Vaterland neutral?

Only kidding! I love Germany, love the traditions and find the people great! Any Brit who says Germans have no sense of humour has obviously never lived here!!

Damn fine beer too....

cheers,

Nick.
