Oh man, tell me about it! The "Rechtschreibreform" was just like another hand of death over the German language! "Delphin" schreibt man jetzt "Delfin", aus "Lehrerinnen und Lehrer" wurde "LehrerInnen" und alle moeglichen unmoeglichen Aenderungen. Lass uns mal gar nicht erst anfangen... And all this to "make things easier for people at school?" Bull$hit! It so pissed me off. For me, it was on of the reasons to leave Germany. Talk about depletion of language. If something like that was even proposed in the UK, all the universities, Oxford powers, royal house, etc would stand on their heads to crush such nonsense in the very seed of it. Same in France. LOL! Very very true! Yes, German makes you very sensitive to misspelling. I absolutely hate misspelling, and I constantly spot it on road or city signs even hundreds of metres away... Australians just don't get it... LOL! Yeah, I too have had to learn Latin in Germany, and so that admittedly gives a bit of extra intolerance to the spelling side of things. And yes, you can go through any thread on ET and it will be loaded with misspellings. You can also go through any amount of my posts, and be very very lucky to find a misspelling... You might find a typing-related typo on occassion, but I think with actual misspellings you won't get very lucky...! Ah yeah. It's tough being German... But then, other than Germans, it seems hardly anybody cares about German. There are only a few German things educated Australians (and apparently Americans) seem to more or less know: 1) ACHTUNG, PANZER! 2) VORSICHT, MINEN! 3) Arbeit macht frei! 4) Ich bin ein Berliner. 5) Schweinehund 6) Teufelshund 7) Deutsche Bank 8) Sauerkraut 9) Lederhosen 10) Oktoberfest 11) Scheisse 12) Ja Ja That is already the whole "collection". Most anglo-saxons hardly know 2 or 3 of them. Sad enough.
