Oh, as far as I see, US grammar has adopted a wide range of portions
of german grammar thinking - interesting!
That wouldn't be too surprising, considering that Germans were the
largest single group of of immigrants to this country from 1800 to 1880
or perhaps even later. It is a little known fact that German almost
became the official national language of the United States. A hundred
years ago there were more German speakers in Pensylvania, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and North and South Dakota than there were English speakers.
My father grew up in North Dakota, and when he was in Germany durring
WWII some of the German people he met told him that he actually spoke
better German than they did.
No, sorry. One grammar doesn't fit all.
