        the longest street name in Germany is “Bischöflich-Geistlicher-Rat-Josef-Zinnbauer-Straße”, which I don’t think is that different from something like “St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path” in the UK.

        (I’m purposefully ignoring Wales, because they’re just fucking with us at this point)

          Well thank goodness they have that ß character to help keep their street names so efficient.

            The can keep their l’s and y’s, my issue is that I don’t trust their language after their longest town name was arbitrarily made so to reap in unsuspecting tourists

      Is the first g the “for public benefit” part? Because isn’t GmbH an evil company?

      Also, isn’t the norm that if you’re doing good, you don’t name the leader a CEO but a Director or something?
