ANKINIGGERS

>misunderstand words
not if you know spanish well and you can always look up the odd word.
>slower and more difficult
again, not if you know spanish well. you should have no difficulty reading and understanding german textbooks in spanish, especially since grammatical terms are pretty uniform across western euro languages

Ausgang -> Exit in German
Uitgang -> Exit in Dutch
Ūtgang -> Anus in Old English

"ANKINIGGERS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this thread before. There could be ANKINIGGERS anywhere."
"With an ankideck, you can memorize whatever you want" he said to himself, out loud.

Cute!

From the late 1550s by John Knox
It is incredible to beleve how many wyffes hath bein adulterat, and virginis deflored, by the filthie beastis whiche hath bein fostered in this den; bot especiallie by that wicked man who is called the Bischope.

I don't think it's Verner's Law either. It's a different kind of voicing that wasn't indicated in spelling until voiced fricatives became phonemic (so in OE both wif and wifes are spelt with although the latter is pronounced with a [v]). I think it has the same source as word final voiceless /f/ (< IE */bh/), except it allophonically voiced between vowels in Old English and later English.

Verner's Law can be seen in words like over (< OE ofer ['over]) where the accent was historically on the second syllable as in Greek hypér.

"GRAMMARNIGGERS could be here" he thought, "I`ve never been in this blog before. There could be GRAMMARNIGGERS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his muscular chest. "I HATE GRAMMARNIGGERS" he thought. "Clueless White Guy Orders in Perfect Chinese, Shocks Patrons and Staff" reverberated his entire room, making it pulsate even as the 100$ Matt vs Japan Pitch accent course circulated through his powerful thick synapses and washed away his (merited) fear of kanjis after dark. "With an Anki Deck, you can learn whatever you want." he thought to himself out loud.
