The color-blind greasemonkey script seems to think it's pink since it uses a "p."

I chose Dave. Dave is an interesting color because it stands out next to red AND blue.

There are no more Pfennige, not since the introduction of the Euro. And the OED is not what I would call a dictionary of contemporary language, english or otherwise.

There aren't any more groats, either, but that doesn't stop it being a perfectly valid word. Plus, I defy you to find an acceptable* - and comprehensive - English dictionary that doesn't have "pfennig" in it.

My hill.


* An unacceptable dictionary would of course be one without the word "pfennig".
