Summary/Abstract: The form that linguistic development takes is social, economic, political, religious, or genetically determined. At different times, different features of language have struck people as particularly significant, typical or worthy off attention. Any complex system, as the human language, is bound to lend itself from a variety of other language systems. This article does not stand as an aversion against foreign words used in German language, but TOO MUCH IS TOO MUCH. Although, the inflationary use of English words in today's German is not perceived with hostile feelings as one must be CONTEMPORARY even if this modernization means a streamlining of German which, in many communication situations, has become only an English dialect. In nowadays usual language, there are more and more types of texts in a mixture of self-made English, that the Germans themselves have made, and of a remainder of German. The Anglo-German is as weird as it is unavoidable, and the distortion of German into DENGLISH has almost become a custom. Examples of this language are analysed in this article and the opinions of linguists on this topic are presented.
