What is “Schmidt mit Dete” supposed to mean anyway?
Well, my last name “Schmidt” is the most common name in German. Since there are a couple of spelling variations (like “Schmid” or “Schmitt”), I sometimes have to explain that I’m spelled with a “d” and a “t” at the end. Schmidt mit dete means just that: “Schmidt with a dee and a tee”.
