Granny went on a date with her 38. (Granny is also a literal Nazi).
  • Prefixing: I don’t think it is archaic in German, or a bad thing at all. It’s the German style of marking nouns when needed. However in English it is archaic, mostly unused since the 18th century.

    As to your examples? Probably context, or the same way we in English distinguish:

    • I saw her duck (she lowered her head)
    • I saw her duck (she has an unusual pet)

    All languages have ambiguity in some cases; it’s mostly fine. The examples you mention would be ambiguous when spoken [unless they also mark a pronunciation difference], so it is necessary to use that same context in that case.

    Also note that a language that does have a way to distinguish nouns from verbs has a lot more leeway in using phrases that would otherwise be ambiguous, so they’re likely more common.

  • Web-based Document Editor?
  • Moving this to a top-level comment.

    Overleaf is fantastic, as long as you are okay with non-WYSIWYG document editing and learning some LaTeX.

    Typst is also worth looking at, as a similar concept. It uses a very different language than LaTeX, but feels more in touch with modern sensibilities.

  • Web-based Document Editor?
  • I’m not a huge fan of Google as a company, but Google Docs seems to be the first and only one that actually put some new thought into how to organize their toolbar, so that’s my go-to.

    Edit: thinking a little further, my other go-tos are Overleaf or Typst. Those do require that you be okay with a non-wysiwyg editor of course, but they are excellent.
