German and Dutch are very close languages, but in complete different places in this tree.
So maybe we could use a better platform for understanding? (hence my original point?)
(Modern German and Dutch are both from the West-Germanic tree, last I checked)
specific graphems
Okay, fine, granted-- but how does that actually help anyone in this day & age learn about these languages?
AS IN– dude, we don’t need to carry a master’s degree in order to understand how English formed out of Anglo-Saxon, with Norman French overlaid on top, now do we?
EDIT: Oh rabbits, no, it’s ME whose wrong. Whups…
Oof. I think you’re right (2wks later, dangit!), Eiim.
Sorry about that. :S
@Servais@discuss.tchncs.de @discuss.tchncs.de, that was rude of me, and I apologise.
FWIW, I’ve posted a general apology in our sub’s general update if you care to look. Sorry again.
@Comment105@lemm.ee,
Hmm, what do you think about rabbits instead of geese…?
