    Is there anything in my profile, beyond my sense of humor, that tells you I am german, or is it really just that obvious?

      As someone who spent time in Germany, the sentence structure tends to give it away. Most native speakers combine formal language structure with fancy romance language terms.

      Germans who are fluent in English will use Saxon root words with formal structure instead, which sounds slightly terse and direct and sort of overengineered (which doesn't help the stereotype much).

      Also you're allergic to contractions.
