I was curious how a foreign university obtained a .EDU domain, but apparently, foreign universities could register a .EDU domain before 2001.

  It's the KIT (Karlsruhe Institute for Technology, former Technical University of Karlsruhe) in south western Germany. IIRC they have the oldest computer science institute in the country and sent/received the first emails in Germany. So yes, they have some standing in the research community, but they renamed in 2008 or 2009 and still got a new .edu domain.

  Would you be so kind as to say what you mean by "foreign" in this context? I'm asking because I was sure that .com, .org, and .edu are international domains...

    https://net.educause.edu/eligibility.htm https://net.educause.edu/eligibility.htm "Per the terms of the .edu Cooperative Agreement, institutions applying to register a .edu domain name or seeking to renew a .edu domain name registration that was approved on or after October 29, 2001, must meet the following eligibility criteria: They must be U.S.-based postsecondary institutions. This means that they must be postsecondary institutions located within the United States (including U.S. territories and possessions); be licensed, chartered, or incorporated within the United States (including U.S. territories and possessions); or otherwise be officially recognized as a U.S. postsecondary institution by a U.S. state or federal government agency (including U.S. territories and possessions). If an institution is not based in the United States per this definition, it is not eligible for .edu domain name registration."

    .edu is American only, like .gov and .mil. .com and .org are available internationally, though.

Hmm, it never occurred to me that reckoning was the same word as Rechnung (German) and räkning (Swedish) but that's kind of obvious now that they say it. Is that a common way to refer to counting and arithmetic in English somewhere? One thing I see missing though is a mood tracker.
