I've always found that attempts at germanization of subjects where English is the lingua franca are incredibly amusing. Further germanization of German words, such as the conversion of "Nase" to "π•²π–Šπ–˜π–Žπ–ˆπ–π–™π–˜π–Ÿπ–Žπ–“π–π–Šπ–“" also is at least worth a chuckle despite the solemn background that spawned the movement.

Which is bullshit and just a parody on linguistic purism.

I could write more, but i have to configure the Zuwachssicherung of my Klapprechner over DFÜ.

Literally it means: Greeting-Display-Control-Mechanism. In German you can jumble the words together to get a new, more precise German word. The most notorious being this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/100...

I remember my German teacher struggling to get the class to remember SchwarzwΓ€lder Kirschtorte (admittedly two words). So she taught us VierwaldstΓ€tterseedampfschiffgesellschaftskapitΓ€nsmΓΌtzensternlein instead. After that SchwarzwΓ€lder Kirschtorte was easy.


Mother of god...


That would be Gottesmutter or (way better) GottesgebΓ€rerin (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottesgeb%C3%A4rerin)


More like this is totally freaking Awesome...!


German for: Spend the best hours of the day on an orange website.


basically showWelcome()


This is now my favorite code snippet. I didn't have one before. Love "BegrΓΌssungsanzeigebedienmechanismus" and the hopelessly verbose way it was implemented.


I just remembered the snippet forgot "Sehr geehrte Herr oder Frau". Oh no! -1 bureaucracy point.


OH NEIN! MEIN LEBEN! :(


Too bad the source code of that beautiful toy is nowhere to be found - I'd gladly provide a patch that teaches it about the umlauts which it unfortunately left alone in your piece of art you created here <3


It's trivial to dump the tables at least. Just enter all printable ascii characters :). The umlauts would be by first fully decomposing the string down to letters+combining characters, right?

Right :). Though it's not quite centred for me.


I have a tool to make this text, though I'll admit I never even thought about decomposing inputs like ΓΌ and then recomposing them after Fraktur-izing.
