Was looking at the ad for some time now, but couldn't detect anything special or unusual. What are you referring to, neilo? I'm really curious to find out now. :)

I just looked at the website. I guess I missed whatever you were getting at.
I even checked out the English summary. It's so much better than most websites! I did notice an "in" missing where they wrote "acting (in) concert". That probably happened when the text was inserted.

Otherwise, I guess I'm clueless.

I can't remember which forum it was, but somebody mentioned how a native English speaker may read a German word and see an entirely different word. In this example I was referring to the word "Hungersnot." Do you see it now?

Well I know when I look at it, I see it as "Hunger-snot" which kind of makes me laugh. I know, I know, immature...

OMG! Neilo, now I'll never look at that word again without reading it the other way.
Shame on you. :)

Now I got it, too...

Thanks Nicole, it's good to know I'm not the only one who thinks like that.

The same also works for the sound of foreign words. I worked as a foreign language assistant in Scotland and taught German to primary school children. They just loved the sound of the word "Vati" and the boys kept calling each other "Vati, Vati"… I also remember that when I was at school, we always laughed about the English word "divorced" because it sounded like "die Wurst" to us.

"it's good to know I'm not the only one who thinks like that"


That's how I feel too! :-D

I remember in school, "damit" always brought on a few laughs, especially when someone didn't know how to pronounce it the proper German way.
And I remember a few kids who would write past tense of "essen" (aß) without the ß, just so they could use the word "ass" in their homework and not get in trouble.
