Jun 30	comment	Source of “Der Tod ist die letzte Feste dem Freien, deren Tor immer offen steht.” would have been my guess to.
Apr 20	comment	What does the Abkürzung (abbreviation) SV mean? @0x6d64 dann müssten beim VVK auch Punkte sein.
Apr 11	comment	What does the Abkürzung (abbreviation) SV mean? what kind of event was the ticket for?
Apr 11	comment	What does the Abkürzung (abbreviation) SV mean? @user unknown: ich finde es ohnehin sehr befremdlich, Abkürzungen zu verwenden, die sich eindeutig selbst erklären.
Feb 13	comment	Ist „Mensch“ geschlechtsneutral? Ich (geborener Österreicher) kenne 'das Mensch' auch, habe aber die Erfahrung gemacht, dass außerhalb der Gebirgsgegenden in Österreich und Süddeutschland kaum jemand damit etewas anzufangen wußte.
Jan 24	comment	What typographical rules are applied when creating the “Esszett” in a new font? it is the hardest character, and for me it sometimes makes the difference if I use a free font or buy one. To make it fit into I usualy take "B" and "b" as base.
Jan 20	comment	Is there a difference between “Leiche”, “Leichnam”, “Toter”, or “Verstorbener” shure it is used... to describe the bodies (other then the number of persons involved)... the use of these words in media could explain the statistics
Jan 20	comment	How would these two sentences be translated into German? @Feroc Thanks! You're right... will correct the answer
Jan 20	comment	“null” (zero) vs. “NULL” I don't understand, why you try to answer a qurestion, that you don't understand? 'Leer' is usualy not used to describe NULL - sometimes (hardly ever) "leeres Ergebnis" is used.
Jan 20	comment	“null” (zero) vs. “NULL” A web-designer / - programmer I run into this problem pretty often and the answer posted here is exactly what usualy happens: Null is pronounces english and Zero is either pronounces german or - very often - replaced by "keine". In case you're not shure... noone will blame you if you ask to clearify.
Jan 20	comment	How would these two sentences be translated into German? 'gewinnen'... es ist sehr wahrscheinlich ein Gewinnspiel, aber nicht eine richtige Übersetzung
Jan 20	comment	How would these two sentences be translated into German? 'Gratisfahrscheine'... Lufthansa ist eine Fluglinie, Flugticket passt da sicher besser. Generell ist diese Übersetzung sehr "Germish"
Jan 17	comment	How do I say something is the superlative of a group in German? "Der Nächte war dies die dunkelste." is not really good.
Jan 17	comment	How do I use “arbeiten an”? @splattne I fully agrree on this! I don't think I want to read about quality deficits in any broschure, do you? - "minimieren" is a little less offensive than "beseitigen"
Jan 16	comment	Hochdeutsch only or also regionalisms? I fully agree ... it is to some point a vicious circle. Maybe that's one reason why business talk uses hardly any dialect.
Jan 16	comment	How do I use “arbeiten an”? This is great! You're showing a very good example where the sentence say both: "we're working on getting better" and "we're working increasing the quaility of our deficits" ... thanks for this!
Jan 16	comment	How do I use “arbeiten an”? "Wir arbeiten kontiernuierlich daran, unsere Qualitätsdefizite zu minimieren." - Would be more precise.
Jan 16	comment	Woher kommt der Östereichische Begriff “Erlagschein”? das klingt sehr realistisch!
Jan 6	comment	In German, is a company plural or singular? ...in that case: singular. "Das ist übrigens ein Bild von einer Bildagentur, sie verwendet wohl ein ungewöhnliches Zeilenumbruchzeichen?" "vielleicht" would fit as translation in a lot of cases... but the perhaps here doesn't stand for "maybe", does it?
Jan 4	comment	Does using the pronouns “sie” and “er” when refering to objects sound odd to native German speakers? actually using "sie", "er" and "es" is usualy something that only native speakers master. The german language has very long sentences with a lot of long word. This way of shortening the content is "HIGH CLASS" German!
