Pronunciation determines the number of syllables, not spelling, and only a non-native speaker would say un-fuh-mil-ee-ahr. Superiority superiority fail.

And betaetigen is the correct verb, meaning to employ or activate, etc.
Bestaetigen is to confirm something.
German grammar fail.

Your curly quotation marks got converted to HTML entities & #8220; and & #8221; The ; at the end of the entity combined with the ) gave that wink. The failure is that the smily detector did not check whether the semicolon was part of the HTML entity.

You can see more artifacts around the text on the right side than the left side which occurs due to multiple compression of an image. This means: The image already has been compressed BEFORE the text on the right was there.

Means: PHOTOSHOPPED

A proper haiku should begin with a line of five syllables, then seven and five again.
I took the liberty to correct it for you.

I’m unfamiliar
with the language you’re speaking
in the prior post.

Hopefully you won’t need my help next time.
