"File's done." Yes, Elwood, the file's finally done.

Feiertag means "holiday" in German.

GH as in "laugh"? People'd start flame wars over whether "FIF" is the intended pronunciation...

I'm sorry you had that experience. When I started really learning Blender (back in the 2.37ish days), there weren't video tutorials for everything. But the piece of advice that really helped from the resources that were available (shout-out to Blender 3D: Noob to Pro) was to read the manual in its entirety.

I'm not sure how practical that is nowadays, but the Blender 3D: Noob to Pro eBook still pushes a "Know before making" approach. I hang out on the Blenderartists Support forum and frequently point people to the relevant manual page for whatever feature they are stumped by or whichever limitation is explained on the Cycles vs. Eevee page, etc. I'm willing to offer you one-on-one help if you'd like, but I do my best to take a "teach a man to fish" approach that requires effort on the other end as well. DM me if you wanna chat, or post in the Blenderartists Support forum and I'll jump in there.

Hey, @Mandy. I know you gave the example of the knife tool and cut-through, and in another response, you said you were struggling with everything, but can you be more specific about what is wrong or outdated? I know that every new version may tweak the settings/visuals a little bit, but the manual text is usually up-to-date.
