Re: Something Wrong with the following Code ?

Words with identical meanings, even in the same language, often have
subtle differences in connotation. And I often view the use of foreign
words in English as a self-absorbed affectation. But in this case, I
believe that the use of "verboten" is perfectly fine. The English
"forbidden" has a stern and serious connotation, while "verboten" (at
least as it is used in English) has a more playful "tongue in cheek"
connotation. An almost "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask
for permission" connotation. My 2 cents...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. Please stop this: Using a german word in a complete
english sentence where there is a totally correct english word for it.

How old are you (which is not meant offensive) ... still watching Anime
? They do it very often and it sounds gruesome. Seems to be the latest
fashion.

We have more and more denglisch (deutsch-englisch => german-english)
words in the german language (where there exists a german translation
already) which is bad enough. Don't start it in the english language.
