    As a german speaking person: Shut up and stop using german translations of words as if it has a different meaning. It gives me Angst.

    (Edit: explanation down in the comments, I am aware that “gratis” isn’t exclusively german)

      What German word was used there? Are you suggesting gratis is German? Maybe it is, but it’s also English. And we didn’t even borrow it from German. It’s Latin.
