Yes, exactly! And using when instead of if! And some other adorable misconstructions that are perfectly syntactical in German! There are a few Germans on my futbol twitter feed who tweet in English, and they make minor syntax errors like those. And of course we know what they mean, even if we'd probably never word it that way. Just like I probably make weird DaF syntax or word choice mistakes.

I'm trying to decide if the people who originally went to space would be more or less strictly religious. I can imagine it either way, and from things I've read, Turks in Germany are more likely to be religious than Turks in Turkey. Though that could be more an effect of many Turkish immigrants coming from rural areas, which are more religious to begin with, than them using religion to create an identity, an Us. Or a combination of the two.

What I want to do is organize this mess into something coherent and put it on my blog-blog.
