“Das Rauchen und Mitführen von Hunden…”

Wer raucht schon Hunde?

Oder meinen die, man darf nur entweder rauchen oder Hunde mitführen?

Online-Umfrage & Verlosung 📖

Lesen ist fester Bestandteil unseres Alltags – wir überfliegen den Sportteil der Zeitung, studieren die neueste E-Mail des Chefs, verlieren uns in Blogeinträgen oder einem guten Buch… Aber was passiert eigentlich, wenn wir etwas lesen? Und was davon bleibt hängen? Dahinter steckt ein ausgeklügeltes Zusammenspiel von Augenbewegungen, sprachlichem Wissen und kognitiven Prozessen.

 Wir suchen Teilnehmer*innen für eine Online-Studie zum Textverständnis bei Kurzgeschichten. Die Umfrage dauert etwa 30 bis 45 Minuten. Als Dankeschön haben Sie die Chance, einen Buchgutschein im Wert von 10 € zu gewinnen. Teilnehmer*innen müssen volljährig sein und Deutsch als Muttersprache sprechen. Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung!

Mit eurer Teilnahme an der Umfrage unterstützt ihr ein Forschungsprojekt, das Textverständnis beim Lesen untersucht.

I found sources. 

The word “man” was gender neutral and referred to both sexes until the 13th century

The female specific pronoun “she” was invented in the 12th century. 

The word “girl” was gender neutral and referred to children of both sexes until the 15th century

High heels were invented for men and were worn predominantly by men until the 16th century

From the mid 16th century to the 19th century boys would typically wear dresses until the age of 7

Until the early 1930s pink was considered the appropriate colour for baby boys and blue was the colour for baby girls

In 2017, a Christian couple pull their 6yo son out of a primary school because his classmate is transgender - citing their “traditional beliefs”  IMPORTANT NOTE: Last source is transphobic and from a pro-life website that attempts to defend the dumb ass couple. Feel free to ignore it if you prefer, but it was included for the sake of accuracy.

Too Real

at the beginning of my 1st year of high school we had an exchange programme with Holland. I remember that one time when our Dutch buddies heard me and several other Polish people talk. one of them said: "you guys sound like a bunch of trees in the wind," to which my friend responded in a dead serious tone: "well, you guys sound like a bunch of choking Germans" and I think this is how every international friendship should start.

I spent my entire school career afraid of being wrong because I was taught that to make a mistake was embarrassing. Now I’ve discovered that making a mistake just means you are one step closer to the right answer, and everyday I have to work to shake the mindset that a single wrong answer equals failure.
