Yeah, everybody please respect the honor system and use decimal for numbers up to ten, binary for numbers up to one.

If you absolutely have to count to e.g. 20 in decimal, just count to ten twice.

(Not saying I agree with them either.)

Whoah! There is a star constellation Berenice’s Hair*, and suddenly it’s connected to a name I know!

Some other German ones:

Nick for Niklas and Nick/Niko for Nikolaus
Matze for Martin
Sepp for Josef
Kathi, Katta and Kadda for Katharina and Kathrin
Alex for Alexander and Alexandra
Vicki for Viktoria
Schorsch (not spoken with an English accent) for Georg
Bert for Berthold
Basti and Sebi for Sebastian
Gabi for Gabriele
Siggi for Siegfried and Sieglinde
Uschi for Ursula

And of course English nicknames for German names, e.g. Jules for Julian, Dave for David.

It was in elementary school. We had a multiple choice test and we had to check the circles next to the right answers with an x.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Would be interesting to see the breakdown by country (but difficult privacy-wise).

Usually 2 - 4 times a week, I’d say. (Germany)
