Yes, it can ...

Gute Nacht! ;-)

Ah, but perhaps he wanted someone named "Schnell" to get out!  :-)

The only way I ever heard it used was when Dad would give us a
command, and would yell "Raus, Schnell" very loudly - and
semi-humorously. He never spelled it for us. His translation (from
being an American G.I. in Germany during the war, 1945), was that it
meant "Scram, quickly!" I of course never knew otherwise.

Anyway - thank you for the mini-lesson in German adjectives.  I 
assume it can also be used as an adverb?  I don't know.

No need to apologize. The German word "schnell" (means quick or fast)
is an adjective and therefore written in lower case. ;-)

Speller Test - Successful

[Bob Riley]

Hi Self,

  I am going to try to see if "schnell" gets added to my English 
dictionary if I make that choice from a right click menu when the 
cursor is in the word ("schnell" is underlined in red, of course, not 
being an English word).

Yes, it did!  I am using the SSCE default dictionary!  And the "add 
to dictionary" feature worked fine.

-- 

Take care,

 Bob   
 
 P.S. German speakers, please forgive my not capitalizing the "schnell."  
It was only all in lower case for the test.
