That's good. It hasn't been a great morning here. I entered and submitted my final expense report of the year, started reviewing material for tomorrow's teleconference, and copied over a draft of a magazine article to be the foundation for another.

The last could be interesting -- starting right out I've got over 17000 characters including spaces (it appears the Germans size articles by characters, not words) and the limit is 5000, so not only only is there a change of focus but a LOT of cutting.

In a way, it now makes sense that German words run to such length. They leave out the spaces. Wirklichkeit.

We were lucky. We learned to add Latin and Greek prefixes and suffixes instead of whole words or English would be even more like German than it is.

Halt.
