What is awesome in German?

Gosh, so understated, so stark. You have devalued yourself.

Literally, "Wir konnen alles" comes out as "we know it all". Perhaps "we understand it all", "except high German". The mountain / plains dichotomy.

Oh Damn. I seem to have mislaid much of the differences between konnen and vissen.

And 'kennen'.

Combinations of letters to make new sounds are common im many languages. Modern Greeks call the letter we call " delta" "thelta" as in "then". Theta makes the sound in "thin". Representing the initial sound in "double" is done with a diglyph that I forget. The sound 'b' as in beer is rendered with mu/pi/

A flintlock uses flint to make a spark. A matchlock uses a smoldering match (slow fuse) to set off the powder. A cap lock uses percussion caps. The lock consists of the moving parts of any muzzle loader. The skills needed to make one are those of any locksmith.

Thank you. I'm prone to forgetting arbitrary things I don't use much.

The word is being rapidly debased. We were at the In-n-Out in Auburn this afternoon, and the guy ahead of me ordered a #3 (Burger, fries, drink) and the counter lady said "Awesome!"

A #3 is awesome? Good, but not awesome. The burger at Zuni is awesome.

Obviously, you have to get one of these.

Or is that we are the kings of everything? >8*)

That's only around 60 X 60 by a quick guesstimation - 70, tops. You'd need help with that one, or a few days. (I suggest refrigeration.)

Just give me a #2 combo, Single Cheeseburger with grilled onions, thanks. It's still plenty awesome.

A waist is a terrible thing to mind... ;-P

They have all the stuff to make them, why no side salads? It would be a good use for the tomato "ends"- rather than toss them, dice them.
