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

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?

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

You're not all there are you robot

I think it's Silica in shoes and bags.

eh?

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!

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

Supercallifragilisticexpialidoutious.

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

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

"gabby"?

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

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

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

Fraülein

I just did it on my keyboard

Did the Danish letters show up ok?

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

Danish letters worked too.

It's über-easy on an iPhone.
