    Oh they mentioned Verein Deutscher Sprache who suggests words like “Klapprechner” but forgot to mention a much bigger online movement to prevent anglicisms where we all speak Zangendeutsch. Just come over to !ich_iel@feddit.org

      They didn’t even come up with the word it’s a calque. First the Prussians came and said our language is an obstacle to education, now they’re plundering our dictionary. And to top it all off they’re not even bold enough to propose this one.

      Brb, going to brew myself some itch apple tea.
