It could be Denglisch (Deutsch + Englisch), There is a surprising amount of it in the German-language edition of Daimler's house publication "HighTechReport". Ausgezeichnet = Outstanding! jsw

Terrible not as in "bad" but in "Dread and Terrible Lord" - you do not cross this person.

In this form you can see the "long-s" (like a math integral sign, same root) and "z" together much better than in the evolved form that looks like "beta". I'd say it's a fine set to share beer and enjoyment with, looks nice. Tim, decidedly not a German expert -- Deep Friar: a very philosophical monk.

It's "daß" with a fancy eszett, not a 'k'. Gothic German can be hand to decipher if you're not used to it. -- www.wescottdesign.com |
