Ah, Sunday. You want eggs with that?

(I especially enjoyed the German ForEx trading link supplied by the last one, which proudly proclaims that "Unser Devisenhandelsroboter Ist Nicht Illegal!". Good thing they pointed that out first thing.)

Yep, it's Sunday... thanks CR, for lining them up.

'Roboter' is both singular and plural. And in the sentence it's singular anyway ('unser' and even more 'ist' are your hints).

Ah, there you go then. It felt like a plural word to me, which is why I would've expected to see "unsere" & "sind". Hah! An ambiguous German word. There's a first for everything, I guess. :wink:

The astonishing thing is that there actually are so few that you can make a list and put that on a Wiki page.

Edit: Read a bit more, and it's not exhaustive (If my completely corroded to dust German is up to speed) , but still.

The list is by no means exhaustive. The important information is that many words ending on '-el', '-en', or '-er' are on it.

Oh I do like nuking them while they're online - and this First Post awaiting moderation is brilliant - saw a post awaiting moderation - checked it - clearly a spambot payload - checked the IP of the poster - banned it - gave it a few seconds to see why it was banned and then nuked it from orbit.

Glorious!

War shouldn't be this much fun!
