Langschwanz-Rang von „old-fashioned“ im Deutschen
Rare enough to double-check
old-fashioned is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed […]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "altmodisch".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for old-fashioned, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is old-fashioned, spelled O-L-D---F-A-S-H-I-O-N-E-D.
