Constantly making the same mistakes in the building application - stupidity or intent?

But loads of spelling mistakes as BA? Or in other words: As B owner of a Abitur?

Thanks for the clarification, I had always translated BA as "Bologna dropout" so far

These supposed "degrees" are indeed misused as such, but were originally intended quite differently: as interfaces for continuing studies in other countries, uniformly recognized, to build on easily. That they are interpreted as "degrees" for people who do not want to continue after the basic studies was not the intention of the inventors. Therefore, I also like to call them "academic minus degrees"

By the way (in the sense of ceterum censeo) my history teacher said more than twenty years ago that if the Abitur (if my rudimentary Latin is not completely rusty: "I have left" or "~ have dropped out") were still titled "certificate of maturity," he would have to return his in protest.

And I find it not always easy to keep an overview of correct spelling with an Abitur from the early 90s (old spelling) due to, in my opinion, failed spelling reforms

I also orient myself more towards the "spelling within the limits of the FAZ"

A reform would have been to simply allow all those mistakes that are equally frequent and uncritical for comprehension as alternatives. Instead, following the motto "the old correct is the new wrong" only makes dictation practice harder for the student generation "between two stools" (whose parents were still reproached for a shipping with three f).

A reform goal "destigmatization of dyslexics" would have been welcome. My experience (as a manager of people from all educational backgrounds) is that they are not stupid, but simply better able to focus on the essentials than the Lord Keepers of spelling.

From the obligation of due diligence as final controller, it has never, in my opinion, exempted a trainer from the fact that the apprentice must be able to prove themselves.

Abitur (if my rudimentary Latin is not completely rusty: "I have left" or "~ have dropped out")

abitur - 3rd person singular present passive indicative of abire, in German: to go away. Since there is no passive form of "gehen" (to go) in German, freely translated: he/she/it is dismissed

Funny that the posts of those who complain about poor orthography here are full of typos and poor punctuation

It may be because typing on a mini virtual keyboard with sausage fingers can at least cause typos. At least I don’t want to rule that out in my case. I also occasionally find that “dass” sometimes appears with only one s; when I read my post again, it embarrasses me, but I can’t correct it anymore because a follow-up post has come in the meantime.

Moreover, no one pays for my posts, and a graded assignment does not depend on them either.

But your point is still not entirely wrong [emoji6]

However, I would be interested in an example of poor punctuation. I couldn’t claim to have all the rules in my head on this topic and to be free of mistakes (including when proving them in other posts) [emoji4]

Worse than spelling is unfortunately often the sentence structure

Worse than the spelling is often the sentence structure

With me, you can get both: multi-line complex sentences and commas where they clarify, not where the German teacher would sprinkle them. In this sense, my posts are allergy-friendly: free from traces of both nuts and DIN 5008.
