Hi :)
I'm a native German speaker with passable (US-) English skills.
Born and raised in the western part of the beautiful and lucky city of Berlin, I've found relative joy in software development after a few years of aimless meandering and finally moving back to my beloved hometown.

What are the differences in punctuation between German and English? Note to my comment: The font used here unfortunately renders correct closing quotation marks in a misleading way. They usually point upards and to the right, away from the quotation - just like the opening marks, rotated by 180 degrees. To see it right, copy and paste „this“ into a text editor and switch the font to Courier New, for instance. |

What are the differences in punctuation between German and English? Sorry, this answer is wrong. We use „quotation marks“ (note slight difference to „this” from thei - the closing marks are struck from bottom towards the top right). French quotation marks (pointing inwards) are very rarely used, probably mostly just for looks. Wikipedia says that Switzerland uses french marks pointing outward, but swiss German differs from standard high German a little anyway. |

Welche Eselsbrücken gibt es, um “dass” und “das” auseinander zu halten? @teylyn: Ja, es gibt einen Asterixfilm, in dem ein haus vorkommt, das Verrückte "herstellt" - eine Behörde. Ungeschickt gewähltes Beispiel. |
