Talk:Secularized Language (view source)
Revision as of 20:03, February 24, 2011
, 20:03, February 24, 2011→Gesundheit means "God Bless you!" in German
== Gesundheit means "God Bless you!" in German==
== Gesundheit means "God Bless you!" in German==
Gesundheit litterally translates to "God Bless you!" in German. I don't think there is any malice or Secularized Language in this phrase. I think it was just a custom started by German-American Immigrants that caught on. As a descendant of German-American immigrants I feel obliged to point this out. Thank you, --[[User:Davidkon|Davidkon]] 14:30, 24 February 2011 (EST)
