in my own case


Hallo friends!
in my signature you find the phrase:
“Grüße von Ispom”
so I intended giving my greetings a personal note,
it is German language and is translated as “greetings from Ispom”
the letter ß is pronounced like c in Mice
ü (difficult for an English tongue) between ee in cheese and oo in tool….
one may also transcribe (for non german keyboards) so: ß=ss and ü=ue
therefore not “GruBe” but “Gruesse”

I clear up so detailed, because I received repitedly PMs or postings with address:
“Hallo GruBe”

That helps, thanks Ispom.

We are in Australia, that is Oz- stray- ya

The 'L' is silent for many of us.

and a humble question I ask to the mods:
the link in my signature is an icon,
how to make it observable, not until klicking on .....?

(so I have it in another forum)

“the Aussies have a horrible pronounciation…”

Yes aussies are pretty bad with pronounciation.
Lucky for me that i can read german and several other languages.
In aussie land you have to have the pronouncuation right or else they just don't understand what you say.

Das ist aber in Deutschland nicht anders

I have no second language. I just shout loudly and gesticulate wildly.

How else are they going to understand that they're dealing with an absolute moron?

Ispom das ist nur ein dialekt und nicht dieAussprache.
In a lot of European countries they have dialects.

You are right, Martin.
Das Hochdeutsch ist fast überall gleich.
But there are local differences:
e.g: official is "today" spoken in Austria not "heute" but "heuer"
or "January" is not "Januar" , but "Jänner" and so on...

Hi Miaplacidus,
so its work also….

but not with us here in the forum

English is my “second hand language”,
in the school I’ve must learn Russian,
I live in that part of Germany, former the Soviet allied occupation zone, later known as GDR

Hi Ispom,

My understanding is that icons in signatures on IIS have been disabled to allow for quicker page loading.
