Language lesson

guardianA report told of a German magazine’s plan to stop using professional models. It carried the headline Keine Modelle bitte! (6 October, page 17). Modelle is used when talking about architectural models, prototypes and the like. In current German usage, where anglicisms abound, our headline would be: Keine Models bitte! The name of British Vogue’s editor was also misspelled. She is Alexandra Shulman. Link
