Any effort to remove these edits shall be repealed and undone. This is more than just a fight of a definition. This is the fight for those who are misled to think the US doesn’t speak German anymore. It is a duty to heritage to those whose families were attacked during the early 20th Century. There is much more than this single example of “Texas.” Of which I am not able to functionally plaster references though I have them. Knock it off. Let the researchers and native speakers handle this. Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit |
