Karena, don't you think the others would permanently ignore my post if I would have used hottentottensoldatententententoonstellingskaartjes verkopersvakbondskantoor?

Did you all know that hottentot actually is a kind of insulting word Dutch colonists used to describe the Khoihoi tribe? Because the Khoihoi have a click language and it sounded like stuttering to them? And apparently hottentot means stutterer in some old Dutch dialect?

Kutenurse, don't you like foreign languages?
