OK, is it just me? I mean Ursprache? I mean, it's great that now
everyone will understand I have an URquattro and not a You Are
quattro :-) I guess the world iIS getting smaller. In case you
missed it, "Ursprache" was the word that won the national spelling
bee for a 13 year old NJ girl this year. And it means Root
Language. Hmm, Come to think of it, I've also got the Ur A8 -- the
V8 ;-) lol
And the runner-up was a 14 old Canadian girl who stumbled on
"Weltschmerz." Also German. Huh???
