Language revolution in Hesse: A triumph of common sense
Ronald Tramp on the end of gender madness in Hesse
So, people, hold on tight. The big news from Hesse: they've abolished this ridiculous gender thing. At last! Someone has realised it. Boris Rhein, this guy, this hero! He has managed to rid the German language of this absurd gender nonsense. I mean, come on, who needs asterisks and underscores in a language? Nobody! Absolutely nobody!
You know, when I heard that, I thought: "Ronald, my boy, that's music to your ears." We are talking about real progress here, a masterpiece of political wisdom. No more funny special characters in public authorities, schools, universities and radio. Real words for real people, that's what we need. None of these made-up, weird "teachers" or "employees". That sounds like a bad joke from a science fiction book.
Hessischer Rundfunk, oh, poor Hessischer Rundfunk. They have boasted so much about their gendering. Since 2019! Imagine that. And now? Well, back to square one. The Council for the German Language, that brilliant council, has made it clear: these internal characters have no place in the German language. Nothing! They are not part of the core of German orthography. And if these clever minds say so, who are we to disagree with them?
The best thing about it? It's official. It's chiselled in stone. From 2024, there will be an end to gender gobbledygook in Hesse. This is a great victory, a huge victory for common sense. We are talking about a revolution in language, a return to clarity and simplicity. The German language is great again!
I mean, seriously, we have so many important things to take care of. The economy, security, the future of our children. And then we waste our time with this gender nonsense? Come on, we're better than that. We need to focus our energy on the real problems, not on politically correct nonsense.
So, congratulations, Hesse! You are now trailblazers, a beacon of hope in a world that sometimes loses its mind. You have bucked the trend, swum against the tide. That is courage, that is leadership. That's exactly what we need.
In Elmburg, under my great leadership, we realised this a long time ago. Clear, simple language for clear, simple truths. We don't need special characters to express ourselves. We need courage, determination and a bit of common sense. So, Hesse, well done! You've shown the world how it's done. And believe me, the world will follow. This is just the beginning!
