Deutch is not a real language.
Hoch･schul･statistik = high school statistics and Gesetz is related to the English word set.
Honestly I don't get why Hochschulstatistikgesetz of all words would make one say that German is not a real language. Like, I'm not beyond laughing at the Norwegian words for speedbumps and professionals among other things, nor laughing at the fact that the Dutch for "fucking in the kitchen" is "neuken in de keuken"... But there's nothing immediately funny to me about the word Hochschulstatistikgesetz. Is it just that the word is long? That it has the letter sequence ⟨chsch⟩ in it? I don't get it.
Unnecessary compounding of words making them harder to read. It’s basically “Highereducationstatisticsact”.
It's only harder to read if you aren't used to it, dear.
It’s objectively a loss of information and more difficult to read
It also gives information that these words belong together in a single word
Could be accomplished with hyphens like a dignified language
Petition to change German orthography into that weird American phonetic spelling so the yanks will not be too confused about other languages than American existing:
hog-SHOOL sta-TEES-teek gee-SETS
Almost every language in the world uses breaks and spaces between words. It’s the Germans who are wrong
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean don't.
Korean does use spaces actually, and Japan uses them sometimes but not consistently. Chinese is the only language I can think of that never uses them.
Arabic, Cyrillic Languages, Romance Languages, Ancient Hebrew, Sanskrit, Irish & Germanic languages all use spaces. Some of the Germanic ones just decided to get weird with it sometimes.
Git gud
Or if you're dyslexic.
