QuoteThe German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has eliminated the longest German word from their laws and therefore from the German dictionary.

With 63 letter, Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz had no real competition. It meant: law on the committee to regulate beef labeling.

The first place is now held, with a meagre 36 letters, by Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung (motor vehicle liability insurance).

This is how culture is being destroyed all around us, a sad day not for Germany but for us all.
