Hej und Tschau



German's must clearly have a love of conquering and making things their own. As my number of Deutsch friends increase, I've been texting a bit in german. People do say hey and ciao here quite a lot - so I figured the spelling of such words would be the same as how we spell them.

Whatever about adopting a j instead of a y for 'Hey', it's just wrong spelling a strongly rooted Italian word like 'ciao' as 'Tschau'.
