“Fehlen” weak, “empfehlen” strong. But “finden” and “empfinden” both strong. Cases when [some_verb] conjugates differently from [prefix+some_verb]? @Em1: the classical example is "hängen" (transitive vs. intransitive). That's indeed the same pattern as in "einweichen" vs. "zurückweichen". |

Modal verbs: preterite or perfect? I don't think there are special rules or conventions for modal verbs. (Most native speakers probably don't know what a modal verb is.) |

German to English - List of letters German "th" is pronounced like "t", not like English "th". Such a list would also have to leave out most consonants (e.g. "g" in your example). |

Two quotes (without quotation marks) in *one* sentence, introduced by two colons? I'd consider the original quote correct. But then, I'd also consider all your suggestions correct, and they all have the same meaning as the original. So it's really a matter of personal preference. |

Fugenkonsonanten bei zusammengesetzten Wörtern @Em1: Wiktionary ist hier widersprüchlich, denn der Plural "Recke" wird angeblich "Recks" ausgesprochen (siehe unter Aussprache). Der Plural scheint in jedem Fall extrem selten zu sein, ich würde aber auch "Recks" bevorzugen. |

Plural of Assembly Es ist ein deutsches Wort, das aus dem Englischen übernommen wurde. "Assemblies" würde ich sicher nicht als falsch ansehen, aber doch "Assemblys" bevorzugen, zumal es sogar in der offiziellen Dokumentation verwendet wird. |

Plural of Assembly -1. There is no standard rule to add "s" to form a plural–in fact, German words rarely use "s" as plural marker. It's very common for words derived from English, though. I also strongly disagree with your other suggestion. When used in a text, "Assembly" is just a normal German word, and should therefore be capitalized like any German noun, and never put in quotes (it's not a quotation!) or italicized. Regarding the plural form, I'd consider both variants ("Assemblys" and "Assemblies") correct, with a slight preference towards the former, which is analogous to "Babys" and "Partys". |

Wie werden umgangssprachliche Auslassungen schriftlich dargestellt? Ich vermute, dass das Leerzeichen nur gesetzt werden kann, wenn sich durch Leerzeichen plus Apostroph die Aussprache ändern kann: „So ’n“ kann einen Glottisschlag (?) enthalten, „für’n“ eher nicht. |

Double consonants in German On the other hand, many of the minimal pairs are also cases where the only difference in the spelling is the double consonant. |

peculiar verbal sentence opening An interesting consequence of the existence of uneingeleitete Nebensätze and the subject–verb inversion in main clauses after subordinate clauses is that constructs of the form "verb noun, verb noun" are grammatically correct without distinguishing in any way between main and subordinate clause ("Haste Scheiße am Fuß, haste Scheiße am Fuß" – Andreas Brehme). |
