irritating: posters who don't get their own way regarding "word" threads, so they complain when someone posts a VOCABULARY thread, that is to be updated once a week, as opposed to every three seconds adding more useless drivel to the already steaming pile.

I took it from a book about trains and I'm not sure if there actually is such a railroad station because the name doesn't make any sense. Oh, if you want really long words, go to germany and buy a shampoo. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! [Edit] Why does the line break?
