Talk:Alles mit Gott und nichts ohn' ihn, BWV 1127

The title is wrong: it's Alles mit Got und nichts ohn' ihn

[edit]

mit = with, so,

Alles = everything, mit = with, Gott = God, und = and, nichts = nothing, mit = with, ohn' = without, ihn = him Everything with God, and nothing with without him ? No. that doesn't even make sense. Even a non-german speak should see that the word "mit" is repeated.

When the news first hit, there were only a handful of articles and the only title I could find contained "mit ohn'" (see this for example). I assumed it was an archaic form similar to middle English pronouns. Currently, there are 43 hits for the current title and 1 hit for the grammatically correct title. I'm not sure what to do there.
Concerning your incorrection of the two "with"s: Sie sollten mit Ihrem Kopf mehr denken und mit Ihrer Zeit mehr lesen.

Aha. I just copied and pasted the misspelled "Got" in the title and got the wrong hit count. There are 864 hits for that. I'll move the article.
