<div style="direction: ltr;">I do think there is such a thing. You can
find it in
the better of German newsapers. It is being taught in Goethe institues
abroad
and in any Deutsch als Fremdsprache courses. On the other hand, I doubt
you will
find it in Duden dictionaries, because Duden is merely descriptive and
encompasses anything that is around, including wrong grammar such as
wegen +
dative case.<font color="#0000ff" face="Arial Unicode MS" size="3"><br>--
