German is not my mother tongue; therefore, as I learn it, I can find many things about the language that make no sense and that frustrate me to no end. Perhaps my favorite thing about the German language however, nay, perhaps the BEST thing that happens in this language is the triple letter. The Germans tend to combine many words into one very long word that means something else. Very rarely, the combined words are such that 3 of the same letter get put next to each other. So far as I can tell, this phenomenon does not occur in the English language. But it's the greatest, and, English Language, I have a recommendation for you. Be more like German, and put a silly amount of the same letter together in your words! It's so fun! I always keep my eyes out for these word delicacies. Fitnessstudio is the most recent find, and the collection of awesome words is growing, slowly but surrrely (see, wouldn't it be more fun if that were really spelled with 3 r's?!).

love always.
