Actually pronunciation would be a good topic, Clausewitz - how is this pronounced, or the classic confusion of ei and ie, so
ei - like Leibregiment, is pronounced like an I as in life
but often you find it pronounced like ie and written like ie
Liebregiment - which means love regiment instead of body regiment, and of course
ie - is pronounced like ee, as in keep.
Jäger and Jägers, or Jager (even worse) - Jäger is singular and plural the same, so it is one Jäger and 10 Jäger - no s needed.
