Herzlichen Gluckwunch nach Deutschland

Hallo Leute!

Iäm here on a computer in Germany that goes incredibly slow, so I have no tolerance to try and type mz schwein-Deutsch mit dieser Keyboard und Machine just jetztz. My spelling sind schlect und my Grammer is worse and mz Akcent ist worust than that.

Hopefully, if nothing else, ten, this post is comical. Look! Ich bin nach Deutschland.

There is only one other American in mz course, so that is good. Die Leute kommen aus Poland und Coasta Rica and South Korea and Bulgaria and Great Britain and Mexico and Egypt. A GOOD MIX: I HAVE HIT THE CAPSLOCK KEY SOMEHOW BUT DONT KNOW WHERE IT IS ON THIS KEYBOARD: FORGIVE ME FOR SHOUTING VIELLEICHT SOLL ICH JETZT AUSGEHEN:

TSCHUSS!!!

again, i apologiye for the rampant mspellings of everything here, german and English alike.

I guess we should have predicted that Pete learning another language would mean a vast expansion of his bizarre personal dialect.

Yeah, bruder, after 7 more weeks of this my English will hopefully be mangled beyond all recognition, just in time for Miami, and maybe a bit of a Spanish inflection as well!

I like that it's obvious you're typing on a German QWERTY keyboard because the 'y' and 'z' keys are interchanged. (Is it a QWERTZ keyboard then?) The reason presumably being that 'z' is a common enough character in German, and 'y' an uncommon enough one, that it was too grossly uncomfortable to leave the 'z' in arguably the least accessible part of the keyboard, even compared to the overall impracticality of the QWERTY layout.

When I was in Austria in college I always struggled when I switched between American and German keyboards, and went back through everything to meticulously swap in the right letter. Your approach of just leaving them switched seems like a better idea.
