to worry that a plethora of fake breasts on the streets may give me pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?

[robotlollypopman]

Apparently, it's caused by silica dust. Is that the same as silicon? What's that stuff in new shoes stuff called? The stuff you shouldn't eat. Is that the same too?

[Ivortheengine8]

bloody hell thats longer than the longest German word.....but I don't know the difference sorry!

[BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability]

You're not all there are you robot

[TotemPole]

I think it's Silica in shoes and bags.

[alphabettyspagghetti]

eh?

[Andrewofgg]

There is no longest German word. You can form compounds of any length and they do. My German dictionary suggests one which I have expanded:
Vermogenszuordnungszustandigkeitsubertragungsverordnungengultigkeitsdatm

the date upon which the regulations about allocating responsibility for assigning assets come into force!

[Andrewofgg]

Should be datum at the end, damn it, and of course I have omitted the umlauts.

[alphabettyspagghetti]

Supercallifragilisticexpialidoutious.

[BikingViking]

Can't believe you omitted the umlauts Andrew - you should have indicated umlautage by adding an 'e' after the umlautless 'u'.

[Andrewofgg]

I know, BikingViking, I learnt that before the parents of most MNers were born - but that would have buggered the number of letters.

[ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs]

"gabby"?

[Whatmeworry]

Does the volcanosis bit only come from cone shaped silicon breasts?

[BikingViking]

Sorry - I meant to add a at the end of the post, but ds woke up and I pressed 'post' quickly without thinking then didn't even come back to the thread

Here's a peace offering - ü and I'll even throw in some free ø, æ and å's while I'm at it :o

[Andrewofgg]

All right, BikingViking - how do you do an umlaut in this forum?

[stripeybump]

Fraülein

[BikingViking]

I just did it on my keyboard

[BikingViking]

Did the Danish letters show up ok?

[Andrewofgg]

Fräulein - typed in in Word and used cut and paste. Works for me!

[Andrewofgg]

Danish letters worked too.

It's über-easy on an iPhone.
