Prepare to be shocked.

As any regular reader of me knows, I'm a lousy speller. Lazy, too.. sometimes that spell-check button is just too hard to click.

So hold onto your hats. I just typed Einstatzgruppen in a post and spelled it right on the first try.

Who are you and where's the pod?

Good thing, since the odds of the spell-check being able to handle that are slim.

I double-checked myself by going to a page on the SS I have bookmarked. I was amused when I saw that I had hit the spelling.

Could it be a reaction to the Cubs Vs Giants so far in Spring Training? :)

No, since I tend to swear in Korean, not German.

Ahhh. :)

Die Suche nach EinstatzgruppeĀ lieferte keine Treffer (http://dict.leo.org/?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&relink=on&sectHdr=on&spellToler=std&search=Einstatzgruppe).
Vielleicht meinst du Einsatzgruppen?

Well, that URL isn't as permanent as I thought it would be. But go to dict.leo.org (http://dict.leo.org) and type in "Einstatzgruppe(n)" and you'll get my point.

I'm not surprised its not there, after all, they did only exist for a short period of time and as far as I know nobody is eager to reuse the title...

There's a rule that any post about spelling has to have a typo in it...

No, really, the first 't' shouldn't be there. Sorry :-(

Are you sure you didn't mean to type Einsturzende Neubauten? ;-)

Doesn't surprise me, given your military background and passion for history...now, if you'd correctly spelled pfeffernusse on the first try, then I'd be surprised. :)
