Quote@J.S.: Ein kleines Gespräch über Kreta wäre jetzt eine sehr willkommende Abwechslung, findest du nicht?

Irgendwie läufts ja doch immer aufs selbe raus  ;)

Quotemeaning something like "Barbarians who can't speak properly"

I speak some Polish and have no idea how this comes about; nie = no ; miec = to have. So  I'd rather translate it as  "the destitute barbarians" (who neverthless are always supposed to have enough money to safe the euro   <:-P  <:-P <:-P)

That's excactly how i write Polish texts, I have no ida how to creata a ł for example.  :-/
However, in German you can simply write ue for ü oder ae for ä and so on (Huette instad of Hütte for example); I do this when i have to tipe  a sms on my cellphone ec.

The negative is correct; the rest of the word means to speak. The derivation is common to Czech, Slovak, Polish, and Russian.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Don't know; to speak = mówić on Polish and that's the only eastern european language i know. Just asked some native speakers and they have never heard of it (but those Polish native speakers come from former Prussian Silesia, maybe not the best source?   @-) ) I actually don't care how we are called in Slavic anyways, maybe I should add that bevore the discussion gets out of control. So if the Czech people think we have no idea about pronounciation let them do so, it's the truth!  ;D
That's how I sound when speaking English, I even got the same sursame as the "German" Spy  8)

On the English keyboard all the umlauts are represented on the extended ASCII character set. Hold down the Alt key and type the numeric code, e.g. ü = 129, ä = 132, ë = 137, ï = 139, Ã,, = 142, ö = 148, Ö = 153, Ü = 154. There are other more esoteric symbols too which frankly I don't recognise. The extended character set runs from 129 to 227.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.
