Hello Dear Ipernity Friends, I will be taking a short break to care for my very sick husband who was diagnosed with severe sepsis this week. Thankfully the antibiotic is working and he is for the most part "out of the woods". He is hospitalized and remains very weak, though. Hopefully I will be back sooner than later. Thank you all for your understanding. x

With today’s climate change strike protests by young people (who have the most to lose) across the world the question arises, did the world miss its best chance to unleash a “green” revolution?

18.12.2018. Anglizismen infiltrieren in zunehmendem Masse die deutsche Sprache. Die (internationalen) sozialen Netzwerke sind da nicht ganz unschuldig daran, da dort die englische Sprache als Brückenbauer dient und so das Deutsch langsam "verwässert". Dies hat Auswirkungen bis tief ins kulturelle Erbe der deutschen Sprache, wie das nachfolgende Beispiel zeigt. Nicht-Schweizer mögen mir gelegentliche Helvetismen verzeihen ;-) (für Küre Bigler) W e i h n a c h t s z e i t –––…
