Hey, finally a text that's like my way of speaking English!

The English speaking community should be glad this is only sneering, while German language was actually supposed to be extensively reformed. Now it's (gladly) a reduced reform keeping the appearance of written language, but giving many words extremely silly spelling ("Ketschup" is only a trivial example). Even worse, many words that have been written as one long word so far (typically German) are now ripped apart so it's hard to read and to see the context. I'm writing lots of text every day, and I don't see the slightest improvement in it, only the difficulties to accustom to the new spelling, so I decided to boycott the language reform.

If something is typically German, then it's the idea of regulating everything. If there's no need, it is discussed until finally everyone has the impression it has to be done.
