Help[Opinions] I had thought...

That "tailor" in German was schneider, not schroeder?
Yeah, it's very Peanuts-connected. It's just comical to see on a real person.

meaning of schoeder...
well I don't know...maybe both Schroeder and Schneider mean tailor? I just know that I googled "schroeder meaning" and it lead me to multiple websites that all said "tailor" as a meaning. It says it has to do with the verb "schroden" meaning to cut or chop which they say relates to a tailor who cuts cloth.

besides...the meaning isn't really what i'm concerned about...i think of it as the piano playing character from peanuts. It's more the sound of it, the spelling, the oddity of it that i'm thinking about.

It is.
Tailor does mean "Schneider". Schröder is not even a word. It has to be Middle German or something like that.

yeah
that word must be really old then and hasn't been in use for centuries. Nobody from Germany will ever have heard of the words Schroeder and schroeden. The German word for tailor is Schneider. I'm from Germany and I should know. I consider that a good thing. Tailor isn't such a good word if you ask me and at least people won't make THAT much fun of him, should he ever go to Germany.
