Big Word of the Day

I haven't posted one of these in a while, but I came across a good big (German) word of the day:

RV-Altersgrenzenanpassungsgesetz

But, it gets worse...this is really one of those sneaky German tricks to make a word seem smaller, since RV is an abbreviation for Rentenversicherung. So the full word is:

Rentenversicherung-Altersgrenzenanpassungsgesetz

47 letters and one dash. What does it mean? Roughly translated: this is the law that sets the retirement age for the German Social Security system.

Who said German is a tough language to learn? It is certainly more efficient than the english equivalent that needs 11 spaces and 60 letters ;-)

A real post with pictures will soon follow...
