You are a rabble rouser. You will be lucky to get any cake

I tend to be a perfectionist Schwolli. You have tapped into my obsession with spelling.

(which is a berg with a burg on top)

Like this?

Like this?

more or less - a burgberg normally is one (of a few) hills in a city it's still a burgberg when the burg is gone (it's more for distingushing the hills)

your's is simply the stammschloß (where they come from) of prussian kings (and later german emperors) - you would not talk about a burgberg here, you'd call it the hohenzollernschloß and that's it

Majority rules, although it's a bit dicey as we move East @Eleanor Rose might consider it morning, too (but it's still 0 dark thirty)

So @Schwallanscher, is it Schwally or Schwolli? I need to know. Remember I'm a perfectionist of sorts!

At the very least, Schwolli should get to pick how to spell his name
