        How does someone speak English well enough to feel comfortable criticizing spelling and not know the word “hungover”. It’s a quite common word

          Idk, they seem to have a thing about invalid compound words which - sure whatever, we all have pet peeves, but damn with a community this heavy in Germans maybe learn to let that one go.

        Because it makes them feel special and smarter. Or, if they are legit insecure nutter, morally superior.

        It’s an ego trip, that’s why. As it always is with folks who police other’s grammar and speech.
