Epäjärjestelmä ~ epäjärjestys =disorder

The rest are just postfixes (as opposed to for example English which has prepositions to indicate the relations or words, Finnish has postfixes). The word itself is quite hard to translate, or even to use. To describe it, a free translation would be somewhat "wonder if with? his with with that disorderly manner of his"

I thought you had ß for this purpose... To be able to spell three esses in a row

no... ß isn't in use for these situations... it is only in use if the S "is" behind "au" "ai" "ei" "ie" and in the same moment if it is spoken hard (like in snake)

in elemetary school I've learnt it as Flußschiffahrt...

• Over 18 million people live in Florida, this is an increase over over 2 million since the turn of the millenium. Wisdom has it that if you leave Americans out in the heat they breed.
  
• The ice caps are not melting, only one of them is, the other is growing faster than the first is meltin. The poles have no official timezone*

Here's something interesting. Do a google image search for "45th US Infantry Division Patch WW2"

You will notice something odd, it seems those folk in Oklahoma had to have a bit of a redesign in '39.

You can't use the word "pride" either without people assuming you mean "gay pride". Moreover, how come "gay pride" is okay, but "white pride" is not?

The square root of -1 is "i"
