But the question is will Germany risk invading France with the AEF (1918) being there. It would depend on the timing and how quickly Germany and others recognise what's actually happened. News of 1940 US suddenly deploying a very large military force might cause Hitler to pause, although given how small the US army at this point its likely to be rejected. When its realised that somehow a force from 22 years before has suddenly re-appeared would cause a lot of uncertainty but their likely to be seen as what they are, unsupported and relatively lightly equipped forces that will add to the confusion. Also if they only appear on the day or a couple of days before the German attack starts the latter may not have time to cancel everything so the attack goes through. I suspect assuming the Germans do attack, they will still probably win but its going to be more costly and it might trigger an earlier intervention by the 1940 US. Although as I've already said Washington, once it hears that their appeared will almost certainly order the forces not to take part in any conflict and seek to withdraw them to the US while it tries to decide what to do with them. That wouldn't be easy even without a German invasion given the already active U boats in the Atlantic and the massive number of shipping's that would be required even if they left all their equipment behind.

We are talking about 1918 EAF in France, would the Germans not figure that out quickly, also the EAF is a force at war with Germany of 1918, could that cause problems. |

Did you mean hated rather than heated? That would really hammer viewing figures.

It would depend on the exact timing and also what the reaction of the leaders of EAF and Washington to what's happened. The EAF was at war with 1918 imperial Germany and while Nazi German is far worse that's not something that widely known yet so its a totally different body and the dough-boys may well have little interest in going to war with it. Coupled with how outdated their equipment is now and the shock of finding themselves 22 years in the future, with all the dislocation that would be - image them faced with meeting up with their older selves, wives and children they don't know and the loss of many parents and others who have died in the intervening period. Also it leaves them very isolated as they can't really have a claim on say homes and the like their fathers once had or their older versions have now. However if they appear only a few days before the German attack and that occurs however I could see many of the troops over there - who were there to 'fight the Hun' - deciding to do what they could in support of France.
FDR, faced with an upcoming election and the fact he's running for an unprecedented 3rd term is likely to call for them to be returned to the US ASAP and oppose any support by them for the allies in the current conflict. Although this might change since any German attack is likely to come before many if any of those could be brought back from Europe.
The other issue that hasn't been mentioned is that this is bound to have a psychological impact on many people who will wonder what it means and see a religious significance. Many might consider it a sign of divine support for the allies but there's going to be opposed by others.
Basically there's potential for a good TL here but it could go in a lot of ways depending on the circumstances.

Can they not turn the parodies of those songs back into the original and what about songs that do not have a parodie. |

And for songs without parodies, musicians would probably have to implore someone to create parodies for them. Also, ‘ASB Corrects All Written Grammatical And Spelling Errors’.

It would be nice as long as its controllable to some degree. I would be less than happy for instance if the ASB 'corrected' English into American.  Plus could it handle foreign terms in a particular language? For instance in English you often get French or Latin terms being used. |

Yes, I suppose that ASB should account for these. Perhaps if users seriously don’t like being corrected, ASB would let them say what they wanted to say for brief intervals before going back to correcting them. |
