For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If a man was from Berlin, he would say: Ich bin Berliner.
If a woman was from Berlin, she would say: Ich bin Berlinerin.
I'm not sure what "ein Berliner" means! :-/
In the nearly two years that I lived in Berlin, one would hear both the
colloquial (Ich bin Berliner/Berlinerin) AND the formally correct (Ich bin ein
Berliner/eine Berlinerin). Which is to say: "Ich bin ein Berliner" makes
perfectly good German sense (regardless of how it relates to jelly or condoms).
