Steve you might want to type your message on word or something and then copy it over, just as added insurance nothing is lost. I have certainly had instances on here where I wrote something out that took a while, pressed the wrong button, and boom it is gone.
Steve, you are adamant it is bad German, but you also cannot seem to find a way to say it. If you think about it, Kennedy was making a hard to express point, an abstract idea, not something in regular discourse. Perhaps it is just hard to make that point in German?
Remember when the French Magazine Charlie Hebdo was attacked by terrorists? Everyone was expressing solidarity with them by the French phrase "Je suis Charlie". Perhaps the sentiment is easier to express in 'romantic' French than the more 'logical' German?
