: Zwar schön kreativ ("auf Alfred Roberts geradezu zugeschnitten"), weicht aber vom Zieltext ab. Ebenfalls geht "akribisch" zu weit. Zuviel des guten, Martin! (kenn ich von mir selber) ;-)

neutral |
Armorel Young
: I don't see how you arrive at any of that - it just means "the particular variety of Methodism he practised"; he could, for example, have been a Primitive Methodist

NGK
: Agree with Armorel, and on top of that, the suggestion is grammatically incorrect.

Aniello Scognamiglio (X)
: where does it say "eigenartig"? And: *Der* Glaube (male) and an *den* Methodismus (male)!

BrigitteHilgner
: With Norbert Gunther; it would have to be "DER glaube an DEN Methodismus" to get the grammar right.

Erik Freitag
: Why are people so reluctant to use the "disagree" function,and rather make a "neutral" comment?The answer is not only nonsense with regard to content,but also written in an utterly incorrect way(3 mistakes in the answer,4 (and 2 half) in the explanation!)

Ian M-H (X)
: The first five comments say almost all that needs to be said, but sometimes an answer is so wrong, in so many ways, that it cannot be disagreed with too often. This is one of those rare cases. The reference to "edonnerstag" is plain, inexcusable rudeness.

Francis Lee (X)
: It ain't often that the 6 esteemed colleagues above are all moved to comment on a particular answer. And somebody on a Kudoz forum recently was talking about turning the Disagree colour to e.g. pale blue! Radioactive red's fine by me ...

Brie Vernier
: Wholehearted agree with Ian M-H+Francis Lee, and the others sowieso. You are clearly not qualified to answer questions in this language pair.
