German is superior to Dutch, really. For many reasons. Though Dutch is 
phonetically somewhat 'better'. At least we can speak (in theory ;)) 
almost every language without vocal accent. Yes, I wrote *in theory*. :D

You call it 'Denglish', we call it a loan-word. You know how we ought to
spell the 'Partizip II' of '(to) update'? 'Geüpdatet'! :D
I would call it 'Uglish' instead of 'Denglish' (Dutch English :D)...

But I'm going totally off-topic now. :D

On-topic:
I managed to get Matt requalified. Don't ask me how, I see it as a bad 
excercise for an 'advocacy-trainee'. :)
