Someone is wrong on the internet.

sister_luckLast week I was informed by one of my students that Shakespeare's famous sonnet 18 was written about a certain Marguerite. When I questioned that particular piece of information she said she had read it on the internet and that the site had looked trustworthy. Maybe she should have looked a little more thoroughly at that page, because it also clearly states that a certain Bacon wrote the sonnet. I had hoped to postpone the discussion of the various conspiracy theories about Shakespeare until a little later in the school year, especially as I had about eight lessons to prep them for the written exam on Wednesday and didn't want to mention the possible autobiographical aspects.
Today, I found the following "helpful German words and phrases":
Wie kostet es? for "How much is it?"
Welche Zeit ist es? for "What time is it?"
Flugmaschine for "airplane"
Nevermind, a German will understand what you want to say and just look at you a little strangely. He'll probably also think that you're a "Dummi", but that's what the website said in the first place, right?
