      Ich meine dies nicht böse, aber wenn dein Englisch wirklich gut ist, könnte Zangendeutsch dir durcheinanderbringen.

      I don’t mean this in a bad way, but if you’re really good with English, the very particular meme German (English is forbidden and even the tiniest bits of English are literally, aka incorrectly translated) used in this community could confuse you.

      I say this as a native English speaker with C2 German- it sometimes fucks me up, because I have a bunch of essentially false cognates in my memory. Especially because English terms are so often actually direct cognates, it’s hard to remember what’s real and what’s not. That’s part of German learning, but if you’re new to the community, it’s good to keep in mind.

      Also me, when I forget a train: Signaling error. (From the perspective of a train controller, who schedules trains in real time and whose errors can cause significant delays.)
