The newest trick in this discussion is that Septentrionalis has shifted from saying speak German to saying read German. (If you think these are synonymous in Septentrionalis's mind, read on.) Then, resurfacing with the strawman, Septentrionalis says that unless you speak/read German you cannot have any understanding of what Meißen is. Is it not possible to contemplate the possibility that great many of the readers of this article can understand the sentence The city of Meißen grew out of the early Slavic settlement of Misni and was founded as a German town by King Henry the Fowler in 929. but they would have a great difficulty in understanding Meißen ist die Kreisstadt des gleichnamigen Landkreises im Freistaat Sachsen und hat knapp 30.000 Einwohner. Or are both these sentences equally foreign to your ears? 22:30
