Henry Clay? Or Abraham Lincoln?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Liz, that's an interesting thought: Would Lincoln nowadays be engaged in environmentalism or environmental policy?

Mr. Richter, please do keep German grammar in good memory (particularly the genitive and the imperfect), for it is terribly going
south. As to every thing there is a season, IMO there is a time AND purpose and a unique beauty to every language (nothing IMO e.g. could replace Italian for Tosca etc.), for which it should be protected, at least to a certain extent (as the French do by commissioning the Institut Francais).
I'm sure and glad that a great deal of the forum members enjoy and value the beauty of language and are willing to preserve it.

For an experience of oddly displaced language watch the "Lincoln trailer Italiano" on Youtube (no need to speak Italian, for sure you will have some fun)!
