I'm having this problem with  at the moment; he had twice reverted my "Kaleut'n" to "Kaleu". What the crew actually call der Alte in the film is (phonetically) "Herr Kaleut'n". The 't' and the 'n' are both clearly heard. I have had my hearing of this word confirmed from a German friend in Hamburg. When I read "Kaleu" I wondered what this meant, as it does not occur at all in the film. So I agree with Hakkasberra that the article should use "Kaleut'n". But how do we convince  to leave it there? Anyone know?
