"help you use words correctly" how exactly? This is an interesting bit of etymology, to be sure; but is just one example of a whole library of similar relations. For example, there are entire books devoted to the historical transitions between Germanic languages ('d', 'v') to English ('th', 'f'). That is, you'll see even more impressive numbers with this approach: grep -c -i "^th" british-english
- piedradura 10y agoI don't have a German dictionary, my point is that a german person can discover interesting relations between English and German using grep, for example the one you suggest about ('d','v') becoming ('th','f'). The use of gerl is not essential but is a handy tool.
