Related trivia: native German speakers, regardless of whether they're
functionally fluent in English, can often be identified in internet forums
via their overuse of commas (and their use of the word "actual", which is
used differently in German - if someone writes "the actual version of the
software is ..." when you would have said "current version" then they're
most likely a native German speaker).
