Newsom chooses. Would be a democrat.
OK, here, too. My lifestyle isn't affected much.
Spouseanon says parts of heesen are on a 21:00-5:00 curfew now. Offenbach, I think, is bad. Only grocery and pharmcies & DM types stores are open.
Also a streetside sale alcohol ban. So takeout, Imbiss, Gluehwein affected.
Amish are Germans. They probably use white candles, on the tree, too. A house with candles in the windows would look nice.
I think the lockdowns (both) were planned and timed. Don't know by who, though.
Peeps off the streets and businesses that would be shutdown by an internet outage kept at as minimum an impact as possible.
Would mean, if I'm right, both sides are ready for the main bout. Bad guys hoping MSM and big tech could carry their propaganda water to stare down the white hats? Q kiboshed that plan.
Pennsylvania Deutsch.
From the Palatinate, around Kusel (little northwest of Ramstein).
My daughter was on a school field trip down in Amish country in PA. We're from out of state and bilingual. She could speak to them. Speak Palatinate (Pfaelzisch) dialect, though.
Yup. Would be like saying, for example, center fieldah instead of center fielder. Definitely Boston area, not sure about NYC.
Very true. Pfaelzisch is a tough dialect. They have their own words for things, too as well as a different pronunciation. Bavarians the same.
I actually had to translate once between a waitress in a Pfaelzisch restaurant and a couple from Hamburg. I was at the next table and had to tell the couple what the waitress said. This was in a small village and Pfaelzisch was all the waitress could speak.
Northern Germany speaks High German, and it's what they use on TV/Radio. Pfaelzer & Bavarians have strong dialects, close to a different language. Baden-Wuerttemburg to some extent. Austrian & Swiss are noticeably different in the pronunciation.
