Title: Revoke chadz's Right to Speak the German Language
Post by: Dionysus on December 23, 2013, 10:29:17 am
TL;DR chadz cannot speak German and it ruins cRPG

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to address a game-breaking problem that ruins my gameplay experience, namely my immersion, and request that chadz's clearly broken Austrian German-speaking rights be revoked. Before you is convincing evidence that the developer of this mod has the speaking abilities of a first-semester student of the German language from the United States. The problem lies in the heart of the game itself.

Figure A

As you can see in Figure A, the ever-so-complicated adjective endings of the German word Messer are inconsistent, the latter being absolutely wrong, misguiding we Fremdsprachler everywhere. First and foremost, we must identify the gender of the word to successfully decline this adjective.


Figure B

From the infallible Duden dictionary, the gender of the word Messer is neuter. Now we must choose how to decline the adjective. Considering that the word Messer is unpreceded (meaning, not followed by an article or pronoun of any sort) and that it is in the nominative case, we will consult the chart and make a wise decision as to how to decline gross.

Figure C

With Figure C, we can conclude that the adjective gross should be followed by the ending -es, which is currently not the case.

I would like to make a direct appeal to the United Nations to arrest this vagrant for his lack of care towards the German people and their language, and implore every German speaker with self respect to only speak to this man in a language other than the one he so openly debauches.

Thank you for your time.

Mor kaa siesch aber a dischtsch übr su'n kläkram uffreschn.

If there is anyone out there trying to learn german and actually understanding what i just wrote: Sir, i applaud you.
So who cares about that tiny mistake of chadz, every german dialect is turning the "real" german into something veeeeery different.

afaik langes messer means long knife, grosse messer means great knife? The weapons are always called grosse messer and langes messer on any english speaking forum or website that sells them.

Just because every idiot repeats a mistake, doesn't make it right. Grosse Messer is plural. Grosses Messer is singular. Same with lange Messer vs. langes Messer.

I'd change it to "Krasses Messer" anyway.

Probably it's the "English" way of spelling it.  :rolleyes:
Although I prefer Kaffeins theory :D

In Murica we call it 'neutral.' Otherwise some folks may be thinking that you're talking about removing some poor kittens' or pups' manhood.
