Re: @L D S

On the other hand, in German Lesen and lesen are two completely different things and you cannot use a lower case l on the first one and an upper case on the latter, it would mess up the sentence and it wouldn't make sense, you would have to go back and read it several times - well there are examples in English as well, such as the misuse of affect and effect causing people to re-read sentences to get the meaning, because the sentence as written doesn't make sense.

In this case Lesen mean read, reading, sensing, whereas lesen is the verb to read.
