I drive from Ellsworth to auburn every day, a little over 2 hours one way every day (almost 5 hours round trip.) My 8 hour day turns into a 13 hour day. I wake up at 3:30 and get home at 6. In the mornings, it’s great because I have time to drink coffee and wake up. The evenings I unwind and listen to podcasts. You just gotta learn how to enjoy it. But it’s not for everyone.

Deutsch didn't get morphed into Dutch.

It are words with the same origin, meaning of the people, the word people actually has the same origin as well.

Germanic people referred to themselves as Diets/Duutsch/Deutsch and some more variants.

The English mostly had contact with the Dutch, and called them Dutch, while the Dutch eventually started to call themselves Nederlands(Netherlandic) and only the Germans Duits. The Dutch anthem uses Duijtsche bloet, now Duitsen bloed (Dutch blood).

The Germans have kept the word Deutsch for their own, just as the Pennsylvanian Dutch (Deutsch).
