Absolutely, including information that's pure d wrong and conflating
Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch. You can be Pennsylvania Dutch and not be
Amish. The Amish don't have so-called hex signs on their barns, for
example, and those hex signs are examples of fraktur art.
And then there are the places like the one out on Lincoln Highway
called AMISH STUFF.
I love it.

You can call yourself whatever you want; it's what you do that matters.
