Ikea Baby Care Room / Wickelraum

Seen at Ikea. Either the designers for those icons are lazy or they have a very fine sense of humor. Find the error in the following lineup and figure for yourselves.

Gesehen bei Ikea. Entweder sind die Gestalter dieser Symbole faul oder sie haben einen sehr feinen Sinn für Humor. Findet den Fehler und entscheidet selbst.

Like Phoenix…

… this blog is rising from the ashes… again.

Well, let’s see… my last entry in the old blog was about 1.5 years old. I guess I wasn’t quite up to date with it. Will not promise anything, but maybe this time I’ll keep up again.

Like last time, I will not restrict myself by language and post in English and German, depending on the topic or my mood. Deal with it. Maybe I’ll do an occational post in Japanese as well, if I ever get good enough with that.

The topics will be as random as usual. Computer stuff, movie reviews, ranting and maybe something about my new addiction fitness.

I don’t think I’ll repost a lot of stuff from the former blogs, but then again, we’ll see.

Adios

Atlas zur deutschen Alltagssprache

Lauch oder Porree? Schornstein oder Kamin? Reicht’s oder langt’s jetzt? Wo ist der zu gewinnende Blumentopf geläufig? Und wie nennt man eigentlich das Stofftuch zum Naseputzen in anderen Teilen unseres Sprachraums?

Diese und weitere Fragen klären die Erhebungen im Atlas zur deutschen Alltagssprache (AdA) von den Germanistikern der Uni Augsburg. Hochinteressant.
