    German plurals are neutral evil now, eh?

      Depends on whether the question is “How do you pluralise this word” or “Wie bildet man den Plural von diesem Wort”.

      No word spoken in German could be evil

        Because “evil” is not a German word, indeed.

            That’s a German term, yes. It is not “evil” though because it is spelt and pronounced differently.

        Well this is about grammar and German is mostly quite consistent (compared to English anyway) so I’d be inclined to call it Lawful Evil. Except plurals aren’t super consistent and plenty of times they add ‘-en’ or even just tack on ‘-s’ like in English so besides knowing the gender you kind of have to know whether or not the word is Germanic in the first place. So maybe neutral evil is correct in this case lol

        The intonation of the second “there are two of them” can drastically change the mood. Surprise, terror, confusion… the wug’s your oyster!
