May 25	comment	“Wir waren hier gelaufen” vs. “Wir sind hier gelaufen” I could have accepted any of these answers; I was indeed making an error, which I think has been well clarified. (I guess you mean "...bin ich oft hier ...".)

May 25	asked	“Wir waren hier gelaufen” vs. “Wir sind hier gelaufen”
May 25	comment	Is it still good form to use a capital D for Du or Dir in a letter? +1. I was taught to use lowercase `d` for Du, Dir, etc, but then when I began working at the university here, everybody used a capital `D`, and basically told me that capitalising Du, Dir, etc is the norm.
May 25	answered	What are informal ways to say “good bye”?
May 25	comment	Polite alternatives to “Grüß Gott”? @Sean Indeed. I don't expect it to be 'the correct answer', but it is related, and perhaps useful to others in the future.
May 25	comment	Polite alternatives to “Grüß Gott”? Perhaps I should have been more clear: by further north, I mean in the north.
May 25	comment	Why no perfect participle? “Sie hat sich scheiden lassen” @Jesmus42 I don't think "hat" is always in the past tense. It can be used for many tenses--your statement is somewhat misleading.
May 25	comment	How can a native English speaker know when it is appropriate to use the polite (Sie) or the familiar (Du)? Is this really true? Isn't using "Ihr" the same as "Du", in that it is also a personal form?

May 25	comment	Neuter gender for nouns referring to children @Jan -- Diminutives are one of the few things you can count on, they are always neutral.
May 25	comment	Was ist die korrekte Anrede in E-Mails an Personen, die man nicht persönlich kennt? Es kommt darauf an :(.
