tink dose other two girls used deir arms."

Micro Segregation,
Society calls the Pa. Germans (Pennsylfanisch Deitsch), Pa. Dutch for some reason that I forget. If you like, you can substitute the proper term. [:D]

A friend of mine sends me these awful "jokes". BTW, I am trying to learn the language. It's a bit different than German.

The reason they are called the Pennsylvania Dutch is because in German, the word for the German language is Deutch. (I think i butchered the spelling, but its close)  So, the uneducated locals of the area thought they were Dutch.
