“Denglish“ is a well-documented phenomenon, but I've discovered something new. English words seem to be entering the German language unchanged and, even better for me, unnoticed.The author, Elizabeth Book, has been studying German for two years.
Perhaps it's because of our growing global culture, but English words are burying so far into the consciousness of the average German that they either don't know the word in German or it doesn't exist.
Father, let me dedicate All this year to you
In whatever earthly state You will have me be
Not from sorrow, pain, or care Freedom dare I claim;
This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify Your name.
--from New Year's Hymn by Lawrence Tuttiett, 1864 (alt.)
