It's some incredibly sloppy writing when an American author butchers a European language (German in this case) to the point of no recognition. This wasn't even phonetically close! Not only do I have to dredge through horrid grammar, typos and misuse of words (it's English, YOUR language, learn it already), but now I have to live with the same authors trying their hands at German and French and whatnot. **shudders**
