Possible ending...

So then, if and when it does end I think that the script writers should film sereval possibilities for an ending and then choose which one they're gonna use at the very, very end (near the transmission date). That way we all have something to look forward to - even those who actually saw the show being filmed... no spoiler could be 100% acurate and it would be a perfect way to end on... anyone think that this is a possibility 'cos I think it is worth considering!

"I'm not paying for your wine cellar, you thieving, would-be-speaking-German-if it-weren't-for-us, cheap little man!"

this one annoyed my grandfather...... sure we would be speaking Erman if it wern;t for you guys but you'd be spoeaking German too cos apparenmtly when the USA was founded.. they decided between English and German as the national language and seeing as we invented English... you'd be speaking German if it wern't for us !! *lol* (if any of this is wrong..don;t blame me.. blame my grandfather.. he only told me this !!)

Only a small proportion of the US population is descended from immigrants from English speaking countries, but new boatloads encountered an English speaking culture so that's what they learnt. The congressional (?) vote between making English or German the official language was pretty close.

How would an opposite vote have affected the world?

The BRA (BundesRepublik Amerika) would still have been a democracy, so they would never have sided with fascists - except that siding with Germany in The Great War would have prevented Hitler coming to power, so no Holocaust.

Anyway, the finale of Season 4 would be set in Berlin, with Herr Geller telling Ross's father-in-law that he was not paying for a wine cellar, the thieving, would-be-speaking-English-if-it-wasn't-for-them cheap little man.

German has the USA's number one language... oh no! That would of meant Friends being in German and being terribly dubbed into English!

Chatting in German to a cute Swiss girl about her even cuter basket of kittens, I sent two verbs to the end of my sentence in the wrong order.

The four-year-old corrected me. :(
