Mar 6	comment	Welcher versus der? Thank you. The context is formal here, so I will use the welcher form.
Mar 7	comment	Does form of address change when other listeners or readers are present? I hadn't either, until I saw it in the email and thought, "Huh, this is strange."
Feb 23	comment	How do you say “Three strikes, you're out!” in German? Both. Edited to clarify.
Feb 13	comment	What is the meaning of “Mensch” when used between friends or family members? @knut: Not really—the "Mensch" didn't really seem to have that sense. It was used too often during the conversation, and it was always being addressed specifically to the husband.
Jan 17	comment	How do I say something is the superlative of a group in German? So is it preferred to say «Lake Michigan ist der größte Große See» instead of «Lake Michigan ist der größte der Großen Seen», or are both acceptable? Is the second considered more literary rather than Umgangsprache?
