Wally reminded me there's certain protocol about writing things on a German server, which is good advice and I forgot due to to the influence of 4chan in later years. So a bit more info.
I grew up as a toddler in a West Berlin military barracks. To get in and out there were armed checkpoints with groups of men carring assault rifles and the occasional tank. Imagine seeing a tank every day after Kindergarten and waving hello to the nice men?
As you can see from the photo I uploaded I had deformities and look misshapen. Yeah so my legs shouldn't work and instead of giving up and being wheelchair bound I took inspiration from the passion of the place I lived, the energy of people. And as a tiny 4 year old with deformed legs decided to march up and down the street for up to six hours at a time. And then ask for missions from officers like that I should tell a joke or do mime artistry or dance like a monkey. They would give me assignments in the morning like do it all on one leg.
In later years it was the same problem for my hands and writing so I just write and write in West Berlin style. And then videogames and then keyboards, programming and forums.
If I don't do this my muscle deteriorates. So I have to keep walking and keep doing something dexterous with my hands forever. It's physiotherapy. Should I not be on a forum I'm coding or writing essays. Yeah, school homework forever and ever till old age. Have pity on me wub.

Someone mention Blitzbasic? :O too bad they took down the forum + software recently
Have you ever used Qbasic? It's like a really pushy mom that slaps you hand with a cane if you do something wrong. Even a single typo and if you try and press enter for the next line it screams like the German mom in Austin Powers. All lies!
As such there's an appeal to Blitzbasic and not needed Frau Loonatic.
My mom was the same. So when I had handwriting issues aged five she sat over me for 3 hours at a time watching me handwrite, and then merely say with no emotion and an increasingly harsh edge 'no wrong'. Or 'do it again'. And it hurt to the point of crying and I needed a break, so she pushed me too far too quickly. She wanted me to blitz it instead of taking Pyra years and get there the correct speed.
If Frau Loonatic was really why I put effort in, I wouldn't be typing this without 'do it again'.
Microsoft are so like this. Spellchecker, Clippy nutcase. Now Xbox pads for disabled gamers, Kinect for the lazy kids and so forth. And similarly they will probably push you too far too soon, but generally they chilled out from Qbasic days and are less Blitzbasic about it.
My moms favourite games btw are Tetris and Moon Cresta. Would stay up late till 6 AM playing them with no breaks, which the manuals advise against. So you learn these things from your folks kinda.
[doublepost=1526728513][/doublepost]Also Wally needs to understand that Germany is still under military occupation from a guerilla cold war division, because due to salutes and particular wording and requests... 4 year old children have to act like a monkey and tell jokes if ordered.
Those orders were never cancelled. So kids in Berlin are technically the ruling police force of the country and above the government or local police force. Beware when there's a dancing monkey joke crackdown for your failure to comply. Social progress and all that.
Careful Wally. You'll bring the entire EU down if you defy the monkey regiment. Dr Evil laugh.
