Křištof Želechovski scripsit on Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:00:12 +0200 >> I have met a woman who has introduced herself as Doktor Mustermann > That may have been a joke, as "Muster" means "specimen"; the name "Mustermann" is accordingly used on specimens of documents. I wasn’t joking, actually. “Muster” also translates in English as example, sample, pattern. “Mustermann” is _the_ German placeholder family name, as is Doe in (American?) English. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erika_Mustermann] I have used it on purpose. I have little reason to remember the name of that unkind person, and even if I did I wasn’t gonna tell. Gunnar
