    I’m a German native and understanding bad German is sometimes damn near impossible. It’s easier for me to understand bad English.

      Good point, and I imagine an Irish person would find that oversight par for the course, but I’m guilty too, so no shade. At least now we’re thinking about it. Small steps.
