    Es gibt Tage, da zweifel ich an der Auffassungsgabe der Menschen. Heute ist so einer. Schön zu wissen, dass englischsprachige Menschen genauso blöd sein können wie deutschsprachige.
    Would you care to elaborate?

    To understand my comment, click on my profile, then on my stats, look at my last comments and then decide for yourself, if my comments are right or wrong. Form your own, subjective mind!

    You are a German! Why on earth did you speak English with me?! WHY? I'm a German boy! you know it, fool!

    You justified your post count addiction by stating that the more posts you create on this forum the better your English becomes - by speaking English to you I'm doing you a favour and don't think I deserve to be called a fool

    You are right, smartass (American version sounds more abusive)! I would love to speak with an Englishman or American in English. But there are two problems: firstly in Germany there are no people who talking English everyday, although I guess there are some of them who are able to speak English fluently. Secondly, I don't talk very often with people, because I spend much time just for me. So I'm here. And no, I don't think so that I'm addict. There are many things which I do among writing. Moron!

    The reason why I used the word 'addiction' was because you called me a fool. Now it's 'moron'. Are you just presenting your collection of English dirty words or are you really that impolite?

    Ich habe deinen neulichsten Post gelesen und denke, der Urposter wollte eher Englisch bezueglich der GCSE Pruefung Qualifikation sagen, als bezueglich der Sprache - vielleicht war dein Post aus diesem Grund negativ eingestuft worden

    Find it out! I leave each individual to judge me. Some of them like me, some of them hate me. I am what I am: a bipolar person. And now you can judge me for yourself. And you can be sure: it is all the same to me. Good luck, German boy!

    I can't judge someone solely based on what he posts on a certain internet forum. I've once sent you a PM with some kind of basic 'judgement' (or rather a guess) which you did not reply to Maybe because it's been intrusive or inappropriate but based on my 'judgement' of you your the kind of person who does not overly care about that.

    Seltsames Thema...

    Zurück zu den Tastaturen:

    Auf deutschen Tastaturen kann man mit Alt+Shift zwischen deutscher und englischer Tastenbelegung wechseln. Das £-Zeichen hat man dann in der englischen Version natürlich nicht (nur das $-Zeichen) und muss es entweder aus dem Internet kopieren, als Zusatzzeichen in Word oder ähnlichen Programmen suchen oder per Alt+156 eingeben.

    Ich habe bei Wikipedia gelesen, dass man ß auf Tastaturen mit US-internationaler Belegung über AltGr+S (bei Mac eventuell über Alt+S) eingeben kann. Geht das auf euren Tastaturen?

    1. Kunden auf neue und kreative Weise ermorden (naja, davon darf man ja wenigstens mal träumen )

    2. Es schaffen, das Ergebnis des olympischen Tennis-Finales erst nach 18.30 Uhr zu erfahren, und das, indem ich das ganze Spiel (mit einiger Zeitverschiebung) in völliger Unkenntnis des Endresultates gucke und genieße (leider wohl auch nur im Traum realisierbar :mad:)

    Und du so?

    Würde nichts an meiner Antwort ändern. Ist dein Deutsch denn nicht auch besser geworden seitdem du hier bist?

    Joa, aber der Threadstarter hat Englisch als Muttersprache, ihm ging es also in erster Linie nicht wirklich um die englische Grammatik bzw. das initiale Erlernen der Sprache, sondern vielmehr um praktische Prüfungstipps...

    I bought a German keyboard for less than £5 from amazon. Absolute godsend for essay writing and long MSN/Facebook chats in German. Now, however, I've learnt where everything is on the German keyboard and simply switch the languages over on the laptop if I want to write in German. I never once used the codes. You get surprisingly used to ignoring the y and z etc^^

    I learnt the alt codes for ä,ö, ü and ß in the space of about 20 minutes, whilst wiriting out a ****tonne of answers to questions for my german teacher. -gets my coat and leaves-

    Hab die beiden Tennisspiele vom Andy Murray geschaut - ich glaub so, dass der Federer mit Integritaet nicht gespielt haette - ihm waere ja so was fuer Geld als Bestechung gegeben worden, da er wohl so anders (Hinweis: Scheiß) gespielt hatte (meiner Meinung nach).

    Das zweite Spiel lief gut bis, dass der Tiebreak einging - ich denke, die Laura Robson dann sehr nervoes wuerde und als Folge verloere sie viele relativ einfachen Punkte.

    Also, wie geht's dir? :cookie:

    Heute ein geiles englisches Wortspiel gelesen: "A friend-SHIP never sinks". Sowas geht auch nur in der englischen Sprache! Ich liebe diese Zweideutigkeit, ich liebe Happy Tree Friends!
