@coliver ~2 for me.
Same here. Campus has been dead quiet today.
Exams at our campus, students need to chill out. Bathrooms are full of puke.
I'm quite sure I don't want to use a translator for "puke"...
Of course you do! Nothing helps a Friday go by faster than learning yet another way to say fun things!
Thanks, I don't know how I could have survived for so long without knowing that word...
ROFL. Nothing like increasing one's knowledge.

@dafyre yeah, probably

From the S's & G's questionnaire:
I'm pretty sure that this question has been posted before but I thought it was worth posting an updated version.

Yep, but I didn't take a screenshot.

Europeans never have to put up with this crap, but in the US it is incredibly common:

A nice job to do sometime today

Would love to. Can't find it right now, but I've posted a screenshot a few days ago. EN->DE translations of to puke. German is a wonderful language, we got like 20 different words and even more phrases for puking.
I think we should arrange a
LassiCorpML event, preferably in central Europe. Seriously, @scottalanmiller, what do you think about that? -
@thwr I enjoy German, should spend some time to learn it (more than swearing). Good solid chunky language and you can combine words together in delightful way.
Reminds me of physics professors naming things. Blackhole -> hole that is black.

Yepp, but quite hard. It's said to be one of the hardest languages at all, only topped by Chinese, Japanese and other Asian and some African languages.
Try to read a bit about Genitiv and Dativ. We got a learning boardgame here, titled "Der Genitiv ist dem Dativ sein Tod". PITA even for some native speakers.
-
@MattSpeller BTW, that's called "Zusammengesetzte Hauptwörter". Example: Office chair (Office=Büro, Chair=Stuhl) -> Bürostuhl. But as with everything, there are exceptions. Blackhole is "schwarzes Loch" here.

US State Department still ranks German in the "easy" language category for English speakers. Only the Nordic and Romantic languages are easier. It's got a special category for "not the easiest, but almost". The Nordics and Romantics are Cat 1 (easiest) and German is alone in Cat 2 (nearly as easy.) Then come the Slavic and other languages. Japanese is listed as the hardest.
