% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
http://simplyjews.blogspot.com/ I know, I know. It was done on purpose, to annoy the Grammar Nazis and to attract attention.
No read this superb opus by one and only.
P.S. And since Nazis were mentioned, here comes a reference:
The 24th edition of Etymologisches Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache (2002) says the word Nazi was favored in southern Germany (supposedly from c. 1924) among opponents of National Socialism because the nickname Nazi, Naczi (from the masc. proper name Ignatz, German form of Ignatius) was used colloquially to mean “a foolish person, clumsy or awkward person.” Ignatz was a popular name in Catholic Austria, and according to one source in World War I Nazi was a generic name in the German Empire for the soldiers of Austria-Hungary.
