...who derive their name from the peninsula of Angeln in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

Lesson One. "You're So Anglo-Saxon". While technically i may be part anglo-saxon (and however much i am, so, dear Anonymous, are you,) only Grandma counts. Only that part of her blood that may have been inhabiting the south of England proper in the middle of the first milennium. But it can't even be that one-quarter, seeing as how they'd been in the americas for hundreds of years before we came along (and, dear Anonymous, you know this as well as i do), which is plenty of time to muddle up with the other colonists. plus, insults based on someone's biological heritage went out of fashion decades ago. It's just not a very effective putdown. it's like saying, God, you're such a Viking. Why do you have to be so Inner Mongolian? What is it with you crazy Babylonians? et c. unless your entire audience is intimate with the details of whatever ancient culture you're referring to, your point entirely fails to get across. and everyone else is left going, what the hell does that mean? Game.

Lesson Two. who counts the letters in words? and, grunt. Way to communicate. Set.

Lesson Three. good luck w/ german. The anglo-saxons spoke Germanic languages. English and German are related. So every bit of anglo-saxon i can get, helps me learn. Match.
