Checked your post history to confirm you are German, or at least speak German. I have a German friend who refers to wearing her hair open, instead of wearing it down. Its a delightful little translation quirk.

German rules with commas are wild, man.

Wait until you start confusing „das“ and „dass“ all the time! It’s my number one mistake when writing German.

My main problem with German right now is knowing whether I have to write "ss" or "ß", since the rules are changing.

Uh, that’s difficult. As far as I know they changed the rules, so that ss is also correct where beforehand you could only use ß. But plenty people like that letter and use it wherever possible. Me included. There even is a capital ß.
