People are not so bad as they seem.

Hangman Game Feedback

Title:	People are not so bad as they seem.
Answer:	Hunde, die bellen, beißen nicht.

Hints:	1. A species of animals is included. 2. The first impression sometimes is worse than reality.

Explanation:	Man kennt das Gebelle von Hunden an Zäunen. Wenn man dann den Garten betritt, fangen sie manchmal an, mit dem Schwanz zu wedeln. Daher stammt das Sprichwort.

Instead of "Hunde, die bellen, beißen nicht.", in Turkish we say "Havlayan köpek ısırmaz."

Some interesting quotations in English (quid pro quo) are at my Web site (maybe some day -- rules, rules, rules...) Near the top of main page after intro page. You fine game certainly -- for German learning -- beats playing at my favorite Linux/Unix shell account version (wildly difficult English words, 'FYI') -- more so 'a priori' my recently getting my own Dell workstation with Linux RedHat O.S. installed. Hurray! :D Sprachen sind wunderbar (schade: umlaut, ja? -- Wundervoll?), nicht wahr?
