Dear Hajo and All,
people continue the story about this so-called historical voting:
The English language won by a one-vote majority. Balsam for the German soul.
But sorry, the historical truth is - this voting for an all-american
language never took place. Most regions spoke English from the beginnung,
few spoke German.

Dear all,
I guess I have to place an excuse for all germans: We are not using such
long expressions in our daily life or normal literature - but sri, our
administrations have a strong tendency to use them!
And of course those guys of DARC in contact with administrations have to
align to those word forming practices.
Normal german grammar even contains a recommendation that, if more than
four substantives are combined to a new single word, a dash should be
inserted after the first two substantives, to gain better visibility of the
content of the long word (but there are even five basic substantives
involved here):

I think we all should be glad that in the historical voting in the young
USA whether english or german should be chosen as the common language,
english had won.
OK?
