  3. Funny anecdote: when I came to Germany, I didn’t know the word “verwirrt” (confused) and made up “konfusiert”. My German boyfriend (who’s now my husband) didn’t correct me, he thought it was cute. I said “Ich bin konfusiert” for at least 5 years until it was pointed out to me.

    Imagine my surprise when I heard a German say "ich bin konfusiert"!

    I asked if it was a word after all and was told no, it’s a joke based on a story about a silly remark made by an American soprano ...

  7. @winterschon as much as I want to fave a toot that shows ZFS being predictably ZFSish, I can't star a sitrep that involves extish corruption and consequences at a weekend.

  9. “Tick” is such a fluffy little word. Why can’t we call the parasitic spiders from hell something more fitting?

    Go on, creative people! Come up with a new name that conveys their essence a bit better.
