This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

See the section under dialectal realizations: th-alveolarization. That's the specific pronunciation difficulty that German speakers frequently have with the English 'th' sound. Even native English speakers often have difficulty with the 'th' sound in various contexts.
