    I HAVE NOT SAID THAT THIS ISN'T THE CASE. I WAS RESPONDING TO POST 7.

    I could have said "Deutsch-Englische Soldaten" but it wouldn't have been very relevant, to this thread, because this thread is about Canadians and it was also intended to be a "play on words", as in "Frenchicon=Canadians/Germanicon-Canadians". I have never heard of "French-English", discounting the residents of the Channel Islands, of-Course.

    My immediate response to post 7 was much more "out-spoken" than the response that is seen now. This was toned downed after quick reflection and I believe that only the author of post 7 noticed my immediate response to what he had written.

    Gil, I do not believe that my German is so bad that you do not understand a word of what I am talking about, considering that you are half German and I studied the language for over 6 years, albeit quite a few years ago.
