  1. +AGS363 Even stranger fact is - Germans largely got into such minor formalities only under French occupation during Napoleonic wars. French were.. well, not terrified, but certainly annoyed that the same person can be named Carl or Karl in different documents, just as the clerk, priest or whoever else who wrote it felt is right. So French, having more of the strict Roman legacy in their culture (which is ironic, since the Holy Roman empire was largely Germanic), put an end to this chaos.

  2. AGS363 I remember him dissassenbling some French gun (I believe it was from XIX century, but I might be wrong, maybe it was from early XX cent.) and remarking that is is surprising how pedentically every part is numbered, supposedly because most people don't expect that of something made in France.  8D
