    The username looks like something my cat would type jumping on the keyboard and is pronounced like an angry German yelling at said cat for jumping on the keyboard

      Haubitze is German for howitzer. You can’t expect it to sound like fairies and butterflies.

      Besides that I hate that old “German sounds angry” shit. If you scream in French, it’ll sound harsh as well.

        That’s true, I still sound like an American pussy when I speak it. Maybe I’ll sound angrier if/when I actually learn to speak it properly?

        I mean:

        1. It’s funny because it’s true
        2. All non-Germany speaking countries have at least 1 joke, where the point is with German language you just don’t know if it’s a new vacuum cleaner brand name, or a declaration of war.

            Nice scientific approach to proving that German sounds angry.

            He’s also wrong by saying that people think German is warlike and ugly because of Hitler. German neighbours (e.g. Poles) have written sources hundred years old proving him wrong (at least 1890-ish)

            Edit: even older lol, Wincenty Kadłubek was implying that in ~1200

              Not like I perceived it. And I wouldn’t say I think Polish sounds melodic or beautiful. Maybe neighbors hated each other for centuries.
