Long German word

[yakalskovich]

For woelfle and wiebke, who might be amused by such a thing.

This is a word I just actually used in an email:

Konkurrenzauswertungsobjekterfassungsbesonderheiten

I admit, it was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I used it in a useful context. I know, there are much longer ones, but do they actually get used?

He he. I'm amused ;)

Caleb is teaching himself German and lately I have been answering lots of strange questions. In fact I am now the German hotline. I will get a call at 11 p.m. saying "How do I say...?" or he'll call me and start reading something to me and then ask me to translate. It's a bit of a nightmare, since I don't always know the answer and I'm afraid he'll think I'm stupid, but hey, I'm out of practice!

Well, if you don't know the answer and think the question is legitimate, you can always send me an email.

But nice and long, eh?
