In the previous post Charles II found AITA:

Look, I, m, believe in live and let live. (And in not going on my travels again. Had enough of that to last a life time.) Why can't everyone else around me be more chill? Instead, my wife refuses to employ my girlfriend, my girlfriend won't budge and accept another office, my brother is set on a course to piss off everyone (he WILL go on his travels again), and my oldest kid shows signs of wanting my job which is just not on, sorry to say. And don't get me started about Mom (thank God she's living abroad). What am I doing wrong? AITA?

Ghost: Eh, nothing comes to mind. I was just making a joke that my Swedish vocab is well on its way to being as useless for modern practical purposes as my German vocab. ;)

ETA: According to my word-counting tool, salon just crossed the 3-million word mark today, meaning we're averaging a little over a million words a year. :DDD

Speaking of

gambitten, Mildred, can you track down their explanation as to how and when the "she cried, but she took?" line about MT got attributed to Fritz and who actually said it, and post that at Rheinsberg?
