one of the world's great mysteries is how swedish and german can both be perfectly normal germanic languages with very reasonable spelling and pronunciation, while in between sweden and germany there is somehow denmark

next time i am mad at an eastern state in germany i will simply remind myself the ddr abolished them because they were “bastions of bourgeois thought”

octaves are a lie invented by Big Keyboard to sell more keyboards. you only need 12 keys just use inversions

very important fact about me: i haven't studied german in eight years, the only reason i can still speak it is that many years ago i decided to try the german version of final fantasy xiv, and i stuck with it. so my knowledge is skewed towards rpg and fantasy words these days,,,
