A quick review gives me most of them, but of course you have set some easy

Calling a fellow student "Sie" or even "Candidatus" (if shortly before
the exams - you still get a letter from the university which gives you
the official title "candidatus" after you pass certain exams) would be
regarded as *very* old-fashioned now.

Frau Dr. is also used in Germany when the husband has the Dr. title. I

Dear McCoy,
As for the lute manuscript itslef, during the chaos of World War_II a team
of Lithuanian nationalists broke into the Prussian State Archives in
Koenigsberg. They wanted to "repatriate" a national treasure, an old
manuscript containing an ancient Lithuanian epic poem. In

we had not thanked him in our acknowledgements. Without Paul's discovery
the Koenigsberg Manuscript would still be gathering dust in some unknown
library.

This crazy fight of the really great guys, Arthur, Matanya (and Tim)

Why do those great, wise, and valuable guys really want to publish in the
very, VERY wide audience of the Net their personal "love and hate"
