Excitement mounts in the Dative

Posted by Barry on 2013-10-28 03:09:04

Seems good news to me.  Suggests that German is a language that is evolving.  How many books could be written showing the way that English has evolved and simplified (in speech anyway) making it much simpler for non-English speakers.  Or maybe I'm wrong about the latter.  Nick, you're the one with practical experience of this matter. I wonder how the arrival of so many none German speakers in recent decades has had on the language?
