Well, the accurate German word is "Fahrstuhl", not to be mixed up with "driver's seat" - "Fahrersitz" ;-)

The most outstanding are of course those sweet guttural sounds South Germans and Austrians do, if they use diminuitives. Noone here can pronounce "-erl" properly. ;-)
An Eichhörnchen isn't a cat, obviously. And only a comet has a Schweif.

"Kann es sein, dass Weibsvolk anwesend ist?" is the only way I could imagine a proper use of womenfolk. I think, Tender will get the reference. ;-)

I like it how the topic of this thread evolved into Austrian-German language differences.
