Though there is a pastry called a "Berliner," no one in Germany thought
that he was calling himself one. It is understood that when one
identifies oneself as a Berliner, it means a resident of Berlin. Not a
"plum jelly donut usually served piping hot on the streets of Berlin
during the cold winter days around January 1."

I'd rather have a hot, chocolate dipped Belgian waffle with whipped
cream on it.
Gawd I miss Brussels sometimes. The food & restaurant district was a
cool place for exploration too.

Nope. "is becoming an epidemic in the last few years" still isn't grammatically
correct no matter what you mean or how you intended it. There are a million
ways to write it, correctly and incorrectly. No matter what you meant, your
tenses were still mismatched. Intentions only count when you act on them.

Sig Heil!

anyway... being married to Sonia, who is a student of languages,
I would say language evolves, and if more people use 'loose' than
'lose' the spelling should be changed...
