This here is i_itrl, the only plier-English zone. The contents are like me_irl and ich_iel, but in plier-English. Make you ready on a hit fit. Nothing for weak hearts.

  1. Only plier-English posts, unless a another "Person" in the meme different speaks. For example: First person: "Speak English" Second person: "Speak German" Third person: "Speak plier-English" There must however always a plier-English element contained be.
  2. Meta-posts allowed not more than 24 hours exist or until she resolve is.
  3. No reposting
  4. Have fun and be no asshole.

Zangendeutsch (literally plier German) is English literally translated into German, preserving English grammar and phrasing. Many of the jokes on ich_iel rely on this. ich_iel itself is Zangendeutsch for me_irl.

This community, i_itrl (I in the real life) is about the reverse, translating German literally into English while preserving German grammar and phrasing, which is therefore referred to as plier English.

The above text was originally written in German by generative AI and has been making the rounds in the German speaking Lemmy community.
