Learning German...slowly...
#3
Danke für..um..telling me that. I forgot that all nouns in German are supposed to be capitalized, not just proper nouns. Ich komme aus Neuseeland und spreche nur Englisch (fluently) so although German is very similar to English in some ways, it can still be confusing for me, especially as regards the order of words in a sentence. I also don't know any of the conjugations for past tense verbs, only the present tenses.
Note: I found it kind of funny that "Der Hund beißt den Mann" and "Den Mann beißt der Hund" mean the same thing in German, while in English putting words in the latter order would not make sense.
"The present is theirs. The future, for which I really worked, is mine."
- Nikola Tesla

"My - y - my - your - my vision has permutated. My - y - my - your - my plans have followed a path unpredicted by the union of Nod and GDI. Your - my - our - our directives must be reassessed." - Kane/CABAL
