    I like how they tried to make a plural of the German word for homeland (Heimat) while technically there is no plural.

      Heimaten is actually the correct plural. It’s just rarely used. An example would be talking about a group of tourists from differend countries, which are their homelands.

      Do you think it would ever catch on?

      Edit: Thinking about it more and I realise my question doesn’t really make sense.
