Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
As for sympathizing with the Nazis, I do know that a shitton of city streets that originally had German names were re-named toward the end (or just after) WWII.
In the case of Berlin, Ga., they just changed the pronunciation from accenting the second syllable to accenting the first.
"Daily life" (now) makes me think of "activities of daily living," which is a measure for health/ability. But that's probably just me!
Daily Life seems like more of a formal, studied recitation, whereas Everyday Life seems more casual.
If that makes any sense.
What he told me (and he was German-American himself) was that there was a lot of racism in the Cincy German-American community and, at least back in the day, a lot of Nazi sympathy
Cincinnati also has one of the largest and oldest German-Jewish populations in America outside of NYC, so I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in that. (Isaac M Wise moved his congregation there in the 1850s, founded the Hebrew Union College there, etc etc. Cincy was also the site of the infamous Shrimp Incident.)

And elsewhere I was able to supply a stranger with Burn Notice slash. Is there a job I could get where I give people links to NC-17 fanfic? Because, seriously, hooking people up with that shit is totally some of the most fun I have.
I'd have to Google the exact year, but not long after the founding of the HUC, the Reform platform was still being hammered out, including whether or not Reform Jews should still keep kosher. To this end, shrimp was served as the first course at the HUC graduation banquet that year, causing several rabbies to walk out in disgust.
(Now, it's entirely possible that the whole thing is an urban legend, given that it was the late 1800s and we don't have any way of verifying the first-person accounts given, but that's the story.)

That's okay. This question is really the least of my worries since I swear I'm about to cut someone here.
