I just finished reading the thread since the red/brown sauce discussion 150 or so posts ago. So much emotional investment in how other people look. Wow. I mean, like what you like. Just don't expect - or worse, demand - that others to like what you like.

Thank you for pre-clarifying my question before I got through reading everything. The Lexicon Valley podcast is very quirky - you really have to listen from the start of McWhorter's hosting to ease into his style - but I love how he explores accents and pronounciation.

Germany is really the country of bread. They have so much different sorts of bread, you could eat a different one each day of the year.

You have NO idea how nice fresh bread is. The supermarket around the corner where I live does the final baking of some stuff in-house. So sometimes I get a still warm loaf of delicious bread, and I have to restrain myself to not eat two days worth of calories in bread in one sitting every. damn. time.
Is it cold in here?:
And I regret having reminded people of baggage that has hurt them, repeatedly and unjustly hurt them.

I just clicked on that link, and there used to be an institution called "Bundesanstalt für Getreide-, Kartoffel- und Fettforschung", which literally translates as "federal institute for grain-, potato- and fat-research". And that made me laugh.
