The purpose of a word is to have a meaning, thus when I say cat, kat, gato, chat, neko, or koshka around the world someone thinks "Oh that furry four legged thing that purrs and plays with balls of string". The arrangement of letters in a particular order refers to an idea within the semantic universe. This show does a shitte job, of recognizing simple things like:  Mausherz, NOT Mauzhertz. Hertz is a physical unit of frequency denoting a single cycle per second. However it SOUNDS like herz, because im Deustch 'z' is pronunced 'ts'. Mauz isn't a word, but Maus is. This literally took less than 5 min to correct.
