Looky now - have just corrected it via good ol' babelfish.

And anyway, who says french is a silly language? I suppose it is in absolute terms, but seeing as Dutch is a more silly language (sorry Dutch Guy et al) and flemish is a positively ridiculous language, french isn't too bad.

Na ja, Deutsch ist ein sehr gut Sprache! Mein Deutsch ist besser als mein Französisch, aber nur ein bisschen.

Actually, are the germans ahead of us in tkc? Only they should be in theory because of all the long words they insist on using

Having said that, I wonder if they have a word for Antidisestablishmentarianism?

Ja, ich auch. Ich spreche beide und ich lieber Deutsch am besten.

I think the Germans TheBeansprout referred to originally are the Team Germany guys who we've left in the dust since all of the new recruits came along.

Don't know about Antidisestablishmentarianism, but the Germans can have nouns of pretty much infinite length because they can just keep sticking them together into one absolutely massive one.

Ah, at least we no longer have the French creeping up our backsides...in a purely metaphorical sense of course!

I'd rather have the french than a stick of TNT creeping up my backside :smiles innocently:

I was referring to them, but also to the bigger target - Seti.Germany, all the way in 8th :eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek smiley: (but they're mostly inactive now so we'll probably catch them, well we will, but the more people the quicker it'll happen :huge big grin smiley: )

And psst....your German's all good, but let's wait for Sir Ulli to decimate it and correct all the endings :huge grin:

Ah, you don't like speaking French - but German, naturally!

Na ja, Deutsch ist ein sehr gut Sprache! Mein Deutsch ist besser als mein Französisch, aber nur ein bisschen.

Yes, German is a very good language! My German's better than my French, but only a little.

Ja, ich auch. Ich spreche beide und ich lieber Deutsch am besten.

Yeah, me too. I speak both and I like German best.


Just some translations to up my kliks :big grin:

Floccinaucinihilipilification > Antidisestablishmentarianism : poking tongue out smiley:

Floccinaucinihilipilification has 29 letters to Antidisestablishmentarianism's 28 (but the former is harder to spell correctly).

But then, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious beats both at 34 letters, and I won't even start with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters), or Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (58 letters).

And although I'm perfectly happy typing those (I did), this one is an entirely different matter...

I hope you ran that lot through a spell checker before posting. :microsoft didn't think of that one for their dictionary smiley:

 

[Berserker]

Floccinaucinihilipilification was on QI ('Quite Interesting') last Friday night, and I already knew about antidisestablishmentatianism and supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (the latter being hard to avoid with a mother who is somewhat hooked on Julie Andrews musicals - especially Sound of Music). As for the rest, GIYF (google is your friend).

We're going to the number 1 spot baby, I just know it. I also have this week off, so it's gonna be non-stop gaming and MSN chatting for me.
