Actually "Fräulein" is quite uncommon today in Germany. It used to be the form of address for an unmarried woman. Since the late 90's it was more common to use the word "Frau", as more and more women didn't like to be addressed in this way (they didn't want the public to know that they were unmarried, "Fräulein" had a pejorative meaning in their opinion).
I've seen both spellings in english texts, "Fräulein" is the correct german spelling, "Frauline" is easier to pronounce for english speaking people _________________ click here |

But since is 1895, I appreciate the form of address. Frau makes me feel old, anyway. _________________ "Doktor! Are you sure this will work?!" "HAHA! I HAVE NO IDEA!" |

Which is why I address you as "Fraulein" and will endevour myself to it's correct spelling. _________________ Silentium est aurum |

Regardless, it's not what you've done to deserve such adulation, it is simply a matter that you do and I am at least one soul who gives you what you deserve. |

Indeed Johnny. That's the way I was talking about.
Oh Mr. Caine. May his acting career stay strong and numerous.
I still loved him as Scrooge from "The Muppet Christmas Carol" and watch it every Christmas. *Giddily giggles as if she were a kitten again* _________________ Oh, I'd tell myself

Oh yes, I love that movie. I must say, however, that my favourite line of his has to be from The Italian Job. I'm sure anyone who knows anything at all about that movie must know which line I am referring to. _________________ Wow, sarcasm! That's original. |

Just make sure it's the original, not the remake. While the remake is very good, I prefer the original. Most annoying ending to a movie I've ever seen though, I must say. _________________ Wow, sarcasm! That's original. |
