...you are in good company. I just read the following regarding Mark Twain and his struggle with the German language.

In a speech given in Vienna in March 1899, Twain imparted to the audience an 95 letter word which he claimed had recently been sent to him in a telegram from Linz:

"Personaleinkommensteuerschätzungskommissionsmitgl iedsreisekostenrechnungsergänzungsrevisionsfund".

Twain added: "If I could get a similar word engraved upon my tombstone I should sleep beneath it in peace."
