Some other German ones:

Nick for Niklas and Nick/Niko for Nikolaus
Matze for Martin
Sepp for Josef
Kathi, Katta and Kadda for Katharina and Kathrin
Alex for Alexander and Alexandra
Vicki for Viktoria
Schorsch (not spoken with an English accent) for Georg
Bert for Berthold
Basti and Sebi for Sebastian
Gabi for Gabriele
Siggi for Siegfried and Sieglinde
Uschi for Ursula

And of course English nicknames for German names, e.g. Jules for Julian, Dave for David.

As for the clock face, a 12 hour face is much easier to read at a glance or from a distance.

It was in elementary school. We had a multiple choice test and we had to check the circles next to the right answers with an x.

Instead, I put smiley faces in all the right circles and “frowny” faces in the wrong ones and was very proud of the whole sheet. I didn’t really get into trouble, but the teacher was mildly upset and I think I had to go over it to do it the “right” way :(

To add one datapoint: I actually installed LibreOffice just now just to try it out. I went via

Format > Page Style > General [this tab was open by default] > Orientation: Landscape

If that is the correct way, then it was, IMO, hard to miss and fast to find. If it was the wrong way*, however then I’d say I find the menu labels misleading.

*I am not quite sure, because the dialogue had the Title “Page Style: Default Page Style”, so I would have expected pages in all new documents to now start out in landscape orientation, but I opened a new document, and the page was in portrait orientation. So, I think I did what I tried to do - change orientation only in the current document - in spite of that (misleading, thus proving your point?) dialogue title.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you for contributing to the critical mass o7

I joined Signal for the very few people in my contact list that use it, but I am holding out for the further establishment / gaining traction of a non-walled-garden solution before I start evangelizing Signal… So that I don’t get more people to switch, and then after a few months/years have to try to get them to switch again e.g. to a Matrix solution (and once again losing my chat history in the process).

I wouldn’t mind if the title wasn’t meant to lure you in under false pretenses.

It makes it seem as though OP is thinking about writing a song to a loved one, and only when you open the post you see what it is actually about.

Would be interesting to see the breakdown by country (but difficult privacy-wise).

Usually 2 - 4 times a week, I’d say. (Germany)

Think again, Jimmy. You see, the pickles that you like so much are made with - yep, vinegar.
