Yes, that's why I said "in a written form". There is a difference between written and spoken language, of course. I myself speak a fairly normal german, but it's still not a pure Hochdeutsch in the spirit of - let's say - the Goethe Institut... :-) so when I talk people might recognize where I come from, but this is of course not (or should not be) the case with my writing. ;-) - Holger
