    Definitely, I like their predecessor too with their more rounded nose, and their oldest model in operation is a classic in design at this point. Tbh the Wiener Linien & ÖBB both chose and choose great designs for their fleets which is good thinking since they are part of the city picture after all.

    You’re not wrong but that’s the German definition.

    On the Wikipedia page of “Three Arrows” in the Section “Use outside Germany” at the end of paragraph 2 it says:

    “After World War II, the Three Arrows became the official party logo of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) in 1945. The symbol had been modified to include a circle, and the symbolism changed to represent the unity of industrial workers, farm workers and intellectuals. The Three Arrows remained a prominent symbol of the Social Democratic Party of Austria until the 1950s. According to the modern SPÖ, the Three Arrows represent opposition against fascism, capitalism and clericalism.

    As to why they changed the definition my guess is the Austrian Social Democrats didn’t want to oppose communism because the first republic was essentially a two (or at best times three) party system similar to the US before it drifted into Austro-Fascism and a civil war (foreshadowing for the US) and ultimately got annexed. And until today the SPÖ is more left than the SPD - or should I say their left wing is stronger.






  • Oh thanks a lot. I learned the whole thing back in 2015 from a teacher who was close to retirement and who lived and taught the last 40 years in the last hinterland district with more deer than human inhabitants. And at university I didn’t take the course because I thought I knew it (and because it was being held on Monday morning) but I probably would have learned it there.

    My highschool teacher wanted us to use * and / as given in my example. I usually rephrase myself to not having to use / that much but idk if you can just use the male or female possessive pronoun to include everyone (if you use the * at some point in the sentence to make it clear) I honestly just use the / to be super sure.

    As someone speaking a native language in which I need to rephrase myself multiple times and need to work with multiple / and * before a sentence is both grammatically correct and perfectly gendered - I still take my time because inclusion is worth it - I just don’t get why anybody could ever be upset about English gender inclusive language.

    An example:

    Every cyclist should wear their helmet to protect their head from injury.

    Jede/r Radfahrer*In sollte seinen/ihren Helm tragen, um seinen/ihren Kopf vor Verletzungen zu schützen.

    We usually tend to rephrase these sentences like this:

    Alle Radfahrenden sollten Helme tragen, um das Risiko für Kopfverletzungen zu minimieren.

    All cyclists should wear helmets to minimise the risk of head injuries.
