Makes sense that Americans understand Germany and its language slightly better than Brits--we are hugely settled by German immigrants. My particular state is one of the most German, and the language heavily influences our style of English. We brew beer, grill bratwurst, put up sauerkraut, and call each other "schnickelfritz," and our neighbors, the Amish, speak German to this day.

@jasonj4865 Actually, Wisconsin. I was born in "America's Berlin," Milwaukee. Indian name, overwhelmingly German culture.

@hakanbaklava576 You should be; German has been an irrelevant language for over a century. My German-American family dropped their mother tongue in 1914. We did our best to purge ourselves of your sick culture. There is something still rotten at the heart of Germany. You Germans make me embarrassed to admit my German heritage.

Jimbob960 Yes, the English are the predominant settlers, but Germans rank #3.

@jp-sn6si Those Southern states are pretty nice, except for the heat and poisonous snakes. I come from Wisconsin, and Mississippi feels like home, except they're all Baptist and very red in the face.

 @uroboroh My ancestors came from Bohemia, and it was important for them to insist they were Bohemian. That Czechslovak thing never caught on with them.
