Hell no! MICROS~1 is “pro education”, they even want schools to buy expensive new computers in order to run some of their expensive products because that’s cool for the kids! □ “…and they aren’t even discussing Microsoft (ba-dum tish!)” Very strange… As you might know from the result of the PISA surveys, basic knowledge (reading, writing = being able to use the language as a basic means of culture) is decreasing constantly. They do not contain the language spoken and written. All the different dictionaries are just suggestions without any legitimation. So I could sell a book myself and call it “The new official german orthography”. Especially because there is no authority controlling or permitting the language ruleset. If people are not longer given means to express their thoughts in a form of written language, or, in the german case, if the language is modified in order to erode semantic differences, there are problems developing. “Dunno about that, though it was a bit strange to see people chatting about an insidious method of societal brainwashing practised by a totalitarian regime to erode and eventually destroy the very concept of dissent (see )…” Non german OSN readers must think we’re completely mad in Germany, teaching a different german language in every nearly school… □ (LaTeX and OpenOffice still are able to produce accurate results, proper dictionaries are still available.)īut as I said, another topic. is correct, while de_DE would provide the standard (unified) german language, regardless of any reformatory nonsense or mistake. But that’s a topic for another forum.ĭe_NS (newspeak) is intended to cover all german dialects (about 20 different orthographies are known at the moment), no matter if spelling, hyphenation etc. Depending on the federal state, there are many different dialects. So it’s an outdated unofficial german dialect… BTW, the official reform orthography is dated to 1996 by law. It is just what I noted during my last test. Older modules may contain 2nd edition reform orthography, but I’m not intimate with the details. “The installer mostly follows the 3rd edition of the reformed orthography of 2006. NB: First test, then share, else you’ll earn complaints only. Allthoug I prefer UNIXes such as FreeBSD, Solaris and IRIX, Debian with its new installer is interesting for me, at least for an evualuation if it’s “good enough” do be given to friends and family. I’ll surely give Debian a try, I think I’ll like it because it features “outdated methods” (using the keyboard and the console) along with “modern methods” (GUI solutions). For example, PC-BSD needs a manual setup to make them working, while USB mice are no problem. Allthoug serial mice are considered obsolete, they’re still in use. “The GUI installer recognizes RS232 (serial), PS2 and USB mice without problems.” Just to mention an example, the term “Weltnetz” (world net) refers to the Internet and the WWW as well, because the inventor(s) of the term surely didn’t know the difference. There are some ill translations of IT termini technici floating around, but they’re not common, so nobody really uses them. Most of these terms (with their origin in the english language) are part of the common education, so there’s no problem to know what “E-Mail”, “Browser” or “Interface” refers to. The evasion of IT termini technici is not ment. It would be nice to have de_DE and de_NS separated. Standard german refers to the common regulated and confimed orthography, grammar, and punctuation, which is no longer part of the basic education here in Germany. So let me elaborate on this a bit: “Newspeak” (Neusprech) refers to a dyslexia-like use of the german language, such as the usage of capital letters, connected and disconnected words, proper cases, hyphenation and the use of ligatures. “I do not understand the difference between standard and newspeak, but if you expect an installer devoid of IT terminology, you are going to be disappointed.”
