For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

It's not a complicated word. The only thing is that German joins compound words, while English puts a space into it.

If German would follow English rules, this would be a Wohnungs Eigentümer Gemeinschaft, which, translated to english would be a Flat Owner Association.

Or if English followed German rules it would be a flatownerassociation. Would you have a lot of difficulty reading that?
