My mind is still a bit boggled. Maybe those commenters are just so used to calling everybody "baby" all the time, even in Germany, that they're not used to the German terms anymore. Whatever.
The only thing that irks me in fic is when people don't make sure they use the correct spelling. I can't remember what word it was, but I distinctly remember reading something and literally staring at a 'German' word for like a whole minute because I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. I tried saying it out loud, and after a while I got it, I think, but it was just very weird.
And there's still at least one instance in X-Men (the actual movie) where I needed the English subtitles because I couldn't for the life of me understand what Shaw (poor Kevin Bacon, having to learn so many lines of foreign dialogue) was saying.
