Arguably they do distinguish - there are 3 German words that can be translated as the English "when", namely als, wenn, and wann.

English <-> German is quite amusing at times! Your english is much better
ls meine Deutsch...but you probably mean "when" not "if" it's ready.
I found it strange that in german they don't really distinguish between if
nd when (that I could tell)...which is a critical distinction in english.
ne is conditional and the other is not, it's, um, temporal or
omething...how the hell do you guys write computer programs?! =)
Olly introduced me to the awesome german word Weltschmerz the other
ay...I've got a case of that:
Weltschmerz (from the German meaning world-pain or world-weariness) is a
erm coined by the German author Jean Paul and denotes the kind of feeling
xperienced by someone who understands that the physical reality can never
atisfy the demands of the mind.

It probably meant to say 'Inefficient'.



Please dont be unfair... If the site is ready it will be fantastic...
trust
me. English is not for everyone the first language. If you are able to use
your Intellect change the beginning of the word "un-" instead "in"... You
see?
