@ericasmyname gimme! Sounds amazing. And thanks :)

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

Whoever made this, I salute you 🫡

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@jspector They all sound so good! I'll go for "the Client Generator" 😃

@andyjpizza Scuffing through leaves in the fall

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@linguisticotran Oh that really is a joy to look at!

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@underagreysky Silver linings, eh?

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@underagreysky Gotta love springtime in Berlin with a good group of Kumpels.

@MatthiasHauer @almut_neumann @polizeiberlin Und wer keinen Bock auf Abschleppen hat, könnte einfach ganz legal parken.

Loved reading this at the WHAT WE SEE Joseph Roth evening a couple of weeks ago. It was a great evening - the other feuilletons were amazing. Can't wait for their next event 😃

@StJohnBoscoCA Your motto is “love is repaid by love”. I’m assuming your female staff get 64.3% less love, then? You know, to match your appalling gender pay gap?

@FwdTranslations I'd say no, we don't. For swimming and athletics, it's often heats. In football (disclaimer: not really my area) I think they say qualifiers. Qualis is, I think, a purely German invention. Though I'm willing to be corrected;-)

@seeyouelsewhere @LisaLettretage @juliabosson @ajbwells @Return2Sanders @underagreysky I might have a text… just DM’d you.

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@ajctranslate There's one in Berlin called James Blonde, Licensed to Cut, which deserves whatever the opposite of chapeau is.

@underagreysky Watching Werner Herzog docs and Wim Wenders films in my New German Cinema lectures. And the egg barms downstairs were good.

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@AGodfreyTrans Me neither! One of many inabilities that I just can't shake.

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@AGodfreyTrans I'll see your duvet and raise you a hot water bottle strapped to me using a tartan blanket.

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@sallymfoxwrites I love that this tweet was the one that alerted me to the news.

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@shelfrisch Oh lordy, yes. I feel that same pain!

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

German writers use "zum Beispiel" and the like waahaaahaay more than English writers use "for example". Discuss. Or just agree with me. The latter is preferable to keep my bubble nicely inflated. Thx.

[Jen Metcalf @JenEmetcalf]

@abitofpitch That is very telling. 🙄
