"Sdrtsch, sbrs, skrs, krk"- a tongue breaker in Croat (?) or Czech (?) (put the finger
in your throat).
Well "upgedated" or "geupdated" is significant for the stupidities in the language
mix. Another is the "gender" given to "imported" words, which results in further
caricatures of a language:
These people just did not find the right words: here they are SAUBERES DEUTSCHLAND or
HALTE DEUTSCHLAND SAUBER or HALTE DEUTSCHLAND SAUBER or just DEUTSCHLAND=SAUBER. The
length comes from DEUTSCHLAND.

business. Mainly in the Southwest US where the original survey were done
during the 1500 - 1600 as part of the Spanish Empire. Lot of land grants,
etc are the basis for land description today. Trying to reconstruct a

Then there is the "hand," a unit of length equal to 10.2 centimeters (4
