When do we omit the trailing “-e” in 1st person singular? Or, economizing even further: sis or sischo spät. ;) |

Was bedeutet eigentlich “gesäßkalt”? Ich wollte es auch erst ohne Umlaut und Esszett schreiben, aber dann dachte ich mir, diese Finsterlinge werden uns hier nicht unserer schönen teutschen Buchstaben berauben. muhaha |

Was bedeutet eigentlich “gesäßkalt”? @JohnSmithers: Das war nur eine Vermutung mit praktisch null Recherche. Und da mir die Dialekte unserer südlichen Nachbarn nicht geheuer sind, bin ich da besonders vorsichtig. ;) |

Was bedeutet eigentlich “gesäßkalt”? Klingt wie ein Euphemismus für arschkalt. Der Spiegel lässt mit dem Begriff "Kachelmannsche Wetterwörter" vermuten, dass diese Wörter nicht sonderlich verbreitet sind. |

Did the connotation of “emsig” change? Agreed. I think when not used ironically the word even expresses admiration. |

Roman Numeral 2 (II) under Bundesadler I'm really not sure whether this is language related. Let's see where it is going... |

Did the connotation of “emsig” change? Personally I think the question is fine. Knowing what is or might be offending is extremely useful when conversing with people in one's non-native language. |

Did the connotation of “emsig” change? @Takkat: It's not like it's nobody. Imagine a grandmother that makes 50 elaborate presents for her 50 grandchildren. She definitely would be emsig. ;) |

Are the subjunctives of “brauchen” and “verbrauchen” different? @Hendrik: And what would be your conclusion if all synonyms also increased by the same factor? Hopefully a different one than in the case where synonyms did not increase or even decreased. |

Are the subjunctives of “brauchen” and “verbrauchen” different? @Hendrik: I think an ngram of a single word without a comparison is next to useless. |

What typographical rules are applied when creating the “Esszett” in a new font? @Takkat: I agree that the keyboard question is not really on topic either. However the other two are questions about punctuation which is part of German orthography. Character design certainly is not. |

What typographical rules are applied when creating the “Esszett” in a new font? Come to think of it, this question is actually off-topic. There is a graphic design site that should be better suited. |

What typographical rules are applied when creating the “Esszett” in a new font? To be honest: I fail to see the real problem. Sure there are a lot of variants but that is true for many letters, e.g. a, g, w, and &. And these are only latin letters. (Admittedly, I'm no type designer but merely a typography geek.) |
