Apr 29	comment	Was ist der Unterschied zwischen einer Sage und einer Legende? Wenn das im letzten Abschnitt beschriebene stimmt, bin ich jetzt auf die Wortherkunft von "Sage" gespannt ;)
Apr 27	comment	Why are “vier” and the beginning of “vierzehn” not pronounced the same? Well, being a native speaker for more than 21 years now I disagree. While 'i' in vier is pronounced like 'i', the 'i' in vierzehn is closer to 'ö'. That's a huge difference, isn't it?

Apr 24	comment	Use plural or singular to refer to a »Menge« of something? @Toscho "sind" is clearly not out of place. First, you find a lot of Google hits for both plural and singular. Second, even Duden has an example where they use both plural and singular. Third, from my personal experience: it sounds absolutely ugly to use singular and I cannot remember that I ever heard that before. But from Internet search it seems to me to be valid to go with both variants so probably different usages in different parts of Germany.
Apr 24	comment	Use plural or singular to refer to a »Menge« of something? This is rather an uncommon use. More common: "Eine ganze Menge Geld/Arbeit/Zeit/...". In your case simply: "Das sind aber viele Nüsse."
