Blitzen". Am I missing

For everybody non-german speaking, who wants to edit the article, this information maybe helpful: The word "Donner" means in english "Thunder" and "Blitzen" means "Lightning". Interesting in this context is, that the nordic-germanic religion (of North- and
Central Europe) believed that "Thor" (so

I would seriously worry about the quality of any modern third grade teacher who prescriptively teaches that such a commonplace grammatical construction is wrong, let alone that it is a "most egregious error". Maybe it's less common in US English, but in
British English it's used all the time, for

I edited the main body but I’m not very clever about
Internet stuff and it doesn’t appear obvious how to correct the big bold Font glaring error anybody who passed third grade English should have recognized and corrected.
