muppy Posted July 9 Posted July 9 here in San Diego you see the word Carmel a LOT in street addresses. at this point my mind defaults to saying it the same way for caramel you put on a sundae Quote

I say CAR-mel corn. But I also say CARE-a-mel apple. It’s a stupid word and I hate the Germans for inventing English. Quote

Your German animus is not bona fide and should contain caveats because surely the consensus doesn't agree with you. 😏 Ergo, your German hate is simply wrong... lol Edited July 15 by ExiledInIllinois Quote
