@novaburst Ha! 🤣
Here’s a lovely thing that @uxgch posted a while back: The sentence “ein Kind umfahren” means both “to run over a kid with a car” and “to avoid running over a kid with a car”, so it’s the opposite of itself – no flipping of uppercase and lowercase needed. 🤣
Gotta love that language …

@novaburst @movq It's fantastic, yes! Another one of my favorites addresses the so called Deppenleerzeichen – idiot's space. That's where a German compound noun is not spelled in one word or with a hyphen, but with a space instead. Just like the English language does it, but in German that's wrong. A phone shop once advertised "ohne Grund Gebühr" (fee for no reason) instead of "ohne Grundgebühr" (without basic fee).
