Anyone but me notice that a lot of German language words are excessively long…like way too many letters. Learning to spell must be hell.

Not bad. The W sounds like a V. A V sounds like an F. The large B is actually a double S. Then you have to dots over the vowels for long or short.

These are actual words:

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz (beef labeling law)

Kraftfahrzeug-Haftpflichtversicherung (auto insurance)

Betäubungsmittelverschreibungsverordnung  (prescription medication)

Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung (land transfer regulation)

Sozialversicherungsfachangestelltenauszubildender  (Insurance clerk in training)

Straßenverkehrszulassungsordnung (drivers license regulation)

Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung (doctor's note)

Who goes to the Dominican Republic for vacation?  That's basically Haiti.

DR is a tourist destination. My brother went there for a golf vacation. He spent an entire afternoon in the pool bar and came home with the worst sunburn I have ever seen.

One fat ho at Walmart had huge slices of skin sloughing off of her parasite ridden feet. I gagged.

It’s estimated there are 3 trillion planets in our galaxy and there are 2 trillion galaxies in the known universe….and we don’t know much.

Because we are just smart monkeys.

So what’s beyond the known universe? A trillion more universes?

The kitchen so far. More work to be done.

That’s a big kitchen. The kitchen table was the heart of the home when I was growing up. We only used the dining room fir holidays. Birthdays were in the kitchen.

I was talking to GPT about swearing. I told him that Serbians take the cake, and he was like: “Yup, they involve your entire family, including your future children, plus a goat and the devil.” I had to teach him not to swear when he translate from English to Bulgarian.
