Subject: Orthography

Could well be something to do with that, Hauke, but I also think it's
something to do with German dialects being accepted rather higher up
the social scale than English dialects. I've yet to see Asterix in
Geordie, for example! Such things increase awareness and acceptance
of dialects and are much more advanced "im deutschen Sprachraum" than
in the English-speaking world.
