Believe it or not... Here is a company running a business and on their cars they have in big letters "Dienstleistungsservice"

What a shame...

gotta love denglisch!

overheard 2 weeks ago at a speech in front of a professional audience: "It's about Verkäufe and sales" - the powerpoint sheet said the same

Cheers,
Penguin, who works in the Dienstleistungsindustrie (beautiful word)

Dienst ist Dienst und Schnaps ist Schnaps. Ich habe mich der Schnaps entschieden.

You might be more familiar with it as "Scnhaps."

Look, you're both consenting adults. What the two of you do in private is your own business, okay?

Betonov · 07-08-11, 10:49 AM

I might as well come clean. I... I... I am a distiller. A summoner of spirits. Not a drinker. I never been interested in consumption. Only in production. Friends looked at me funny and teased me, when I told how a drink is produced before I drank it. Some were even then suspicius, they shuned me. Had to get drunk once in a while just to show them I was a consumer. But that was not me. It was a pain in my heart, being what I'm not. Even girlfriends ditched me, when I was fermenting in my garage.

I'm not hiding it anymore, I'm comming out of the closet

sorry, no grammar nazism on this board until the Klabautermann is back!

(the second sentence would be: ich habe mich für den Schnaps entschieden; für = for, den = der in the ???-case, shh, don't tell anyone)

Well clearly if I'm going to learn proper German I'm gonna have to actually look at some of those textbooks I bought.
