    • 2001, Jeanny Freiderich et al., Eng Klack fir eis Sprooch[1]:
      Am Radio hat ech e bëssen den Uz mat deene koppeg-verdäitschte Flouernimm / lieux-dits gemaach, déi ee plazeweis op de Plakate vun enger Stee oder an engem Immobilien-Akt fënnt.
      On the radio I had made a little fun of the weird Germanised place names that one sometimes finds on scaffolding placards or in an estate agent's document.
