Germany had to stop this before it got any further. 'Brüder, the speech is going to be in English anyway, so we don't have to wor-ry..' he trailed off when Prussia fixed a glare on him that was colder than Russia's when he was angry. What the hell did that crazy Soviet teach his brother when they lived together?! Germany was starting to feel like a child at his lessons again with Prussia as the really scary, imposing schoolmarm. But even the image of his elder brother in a high-necked frock and hair in a severe bun was not enough to repress the slight tingling of fear Germany was feeling as those red eyes bore into his.
'Are you fuckin' stupid? Don't you even get me started on all the translation errors you're going to have if you don't do this right in the first place.'
Germany sighed. Maybe he wasn't getting out of here as soon as he thought. A sharp smack on the back of his head brought him back to the present, where Prussia had started to lecture him on correct grammatical usage.
'Pay attention, West! Never put a comma before 'und', you get it? You do that in English, not German, dumbass. And, Gott, let me fuckin' re-educate you on Eszetts since even after your lame-ass spelling reformation you still can't get them right. They come after long vowels and diphthongs. You do know what a diphthong is, yes?” Prussia quirked an eyebrow at him in a patronising expression.
Germany sighed and nodded.
'Good. Don't fuckin' forget. Also, West, what the fuck is this? It that even a real word?” Prussia paused, clearly looking for an answer.
'Uh, yes?' earned him another smack.
'I don't believe you. Doesn't look like any word I know, unless your spelling is epically wrong, which by now I wouldn't put past you.' There was a pause again, where Germany honestly did not know what to say to that without getting another smack.
Not answering didn't seem to be the answer either, unfortunately for Germany. Prussia was hitting him so hard that the ends of his hair were becoming un-gelled. It was falling around his eyes, obscuring the page a bit, which was a bit dangerous in his current situation.
'West! Listen to me you ungrateful little brat! How can the awesome me be related to someone so linguistically incapable?'
Germany hid his face in his hands as his elder brother ranted on. He should have known Prussia would be such a grammar nazi. He just hoped that the next time his brother tagged along to a UN meeting - which was probably the next one if 'and I'll be there to make sure you do it right' meant anything - he wouldn't embarrass Germany in front of the other nations.

Two nitpicks: "Brüder" is plural, it should be "Bruder". There are also some cases where a comma before "und" is appropriate, even after the reform.

If you drop the comma before the und there, the meaning changes significantly.
And now I'm not sure if that full stop goes inside the quotation marks or outside... daaaarnit.

The irony of making grammatical errors in a fic about grammatical errors is not lost on me, haha.
Also, that sentence made me giggle. I think it's in the right place...
