You apparently haven't seen my weapons arsenal yet (unlike some other members), so if I was you I'd be a bit more careful. ^^

Baden-Württemberg...Bavaria...all the same. Stupid dialects, strange habits and peculiar food.

ok, andrew if you meant "grüß dich" then that's not a dialect. it's more like common speech and it does sound much better than the actual proper saying which would be something like "ich grüße dich" (which sounds so dumb, you would probably get a kick in the balls for it Grin

). fact is, today's spoken German is very simplyfied to make it sound more casual when having a conversation with anyone but the most formal people. i know you'll think that's the also the case in english, but i'd say it's a far bigger change in German. textbook german just doesn't sound natural so we tend to leave out or change almost every second word Wink

. nothing of this has anything to do with dialect, it's commonly used in "hochdeutsch"

AHHHHHH!
I see now.
I've always thought the text book was a little uptight when it cursed me for saying "Ich bin gut" on friday after noon when fragt "Wie gehts? "
