Sep 20	answered	What is the German equivalent of the English “aka”?
Sep 20	comment	“Redirect an address to a server” - which preposition should I use? Frankly: I don't really care if it's "strang", I've heard it used in this way from more than one source (including the OP who brought it up first). Documenting this is the right thing to do, in my opinion.

Sep 19	comment	“Redirect an address to a server” - which preposition should I use? @Hendrik: I've heard it used a few times with this exact meaning (I work as a software developer), but I wouldn't write it to a customer/client or in any other professional communication.
Sep 19	comment	Was bedeutet das Wort “um” in Phrasen wie “um 5% gestiegen”, “um 10C gestiegen” und “um XYZ --”? Bayern ist bei vielen "nur in Österreich"-Konstrukten ja ohnehin implizit inkludiert ;-)
Sep 19	comment	Was bedeutet das Wort “um” in Phrasen wie “um 5% gestiegen”, “um 10C gestiegen” und “um XYZ --”? Ich wußte nicht dass "um 10€" nur in Österreich für genaue Preisangaben verwendet wird!

Sep 9	comment	Is there a difference in meaning or correctness between “anderthalb” and “eineinhalb”? "anderthalb" is widely used in Austria. At least colloquially.
Sep 8	revised	Using “mir” where it seems unnecessary? formatting
Sep 8	suggested	suggested edit on Using “mir” where it seems unnecessary?
Sep 8	comment	“schnell auf der Straße stehen” meaning When I read the title (i.e. had no context) I thought about a really expensive and fast car standing in a traffic jam ;-)
Sep 7	answered	If my professor says “du”, can I use “du”, too?
Sep 7	comment	If my professor says “du”, can I use “du”, too? Very relevant discussion: How can a native English speaker know when it is appropriate to use the polite (Sie) or the familiar (Du)?
Sep 7	comment	Polite way of asking someone not to “duz” "Ich erinnere mich gar nicht Ihnen das Du angeboten zu haben." implies that the speaker is the only one who can offer it, so it's still not very polite.
Aug 31	comment	Welche Dialektwörter werden im Standarddeutschen am meisten vermisst? @Jürgen: Der Össi-Duden ist der Duden: er enthält durchaus auch österreichische Wörter (wie z.B. "heuer").
Aug 25	comment	What are the origin & possible meanings of the ver- prefix? @Hauser: yes, I'm well aware that by far not all "ver-" words match this description. It's just one common use.
Aug 25	answered	What are the origin & possible meanings of the ver- prefix?
Aug 24	revised	Is something “kaputt” just broken or completely ruined? formatting
Aug 24	suggested	suggested edit on Is something “kaputt” just broken or completely ruined?
Aug 22	comment	How is the cliched plot device of 'not realising a Dr. is female' interpreted in German, where it would be obvious? +1: I'd say "Doktor Müller" would allow the most natural translation of the plot device.
