Bundespräsidentenstichwahlwiederholungsverschiebung

[BlackCat]

This word is the Austrian word of the year according to this article :

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/austrian-academics-choose-bundespraesidentenstichwahlwiederholungsverschiebung-word-of-year-election-a7466176.html

Question is if germans can accept that the austrians have made a word that is larger and more hopeless to pronunce than current german record words.

The longest german word in germany so far was:

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübert ragungsgesetz

(in english: Law for the delegation of responsibilities for supervising tasks in the labeling for beef )

It is a law that was onnly valid for a single geerman state however, was abolished in 2013 and AFAIK replaced with a law that has a shorter sounding name

Size doesn't matter, or does it? However, 150 yrs ago that would have meant war

[ZEE]

Humans are so stupid. Arguing over the length of words.

Let me see soem nuclear war or soem serial murders. Now THAT is news. Otherwise GTFO.

[BeBMan]

Bah nukes. Ultralong supermulti-syllable words are really badass

[Dry]

A few questions pops to my mind...
Is there a "justify text" in german text editors?
What's a typical german line length, in # characters?
Is german the Mecury of languages, the planet where days are longer than years?
Can you build a german word that extends over 2 sentences?

Not without bending the rules I'd say Which is verboten
