well then all the Germans who spelt it as Drechssau are not very smart people and if this makes German above average...well then i guess you're right...

Actually, Bardock never commented on my usage of the word 'Drechssau', and I consider him to be quite an intelligent person, besides, he's quite eager to correct people's spelling and grammar.
Well if your German is half decent (which i find very very questionable right now..) then go to ****ing Duden.de and type in your damn Drechssau you ****ing farmer and if you get ONE ****ing single hit on that word then i swear to God..i'll run through Venlo butt naked have my wife tape it all!! Go ahead...i ****ing dare you!

Originally posted by SlayNo, it's grammatically wrong. It's the Internet though, so many don't give a ****. But yes, Drecksau is a noun...nouns are capitalized.
Well, no, I guess Drecksau is a way to spell it, it's just that EVERY German I know spells it as ''Drechssau'', so I was right as well.Like favorite and favourite are both correct.
As for "Drechsau", that's a phonetic spelling based on the southern German pronunciation of the former. Should be capitalized as well though.
