Is your face usually adorned with stubble?
The names Plymouth, Bideford, and Barnstaple have been used in place names in the United States. Plymouth is a well-known example, as it was the name of the English port from which the Pilgrims set sail for the New World in 1620. There are several places named Plymouth in the United States, including Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is the landing site of the Mayflower, and Plymouth, Minnesota, a city in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area.Do you guys have any idea how strange your place names sound to an American ear?
I noticed! American living in the US but lived in Germany for a short time many years ago. And...Ich habe mehr Deutsch vergessen, als ich gelernt habe.Yeah, its a bit of a habit, having lived here for fifty years, but not many people notice.
