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???
