Surely there's a very long German word for it.

More like Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung.

By the way, using the 'ß' as you did would force the preceding vowel to have a stretched pronunciation.

And I don't know about you, but in my opinion defeeßit and deeßorder sounds awful.

That conversation looked like bots anyway

While this is more common for people with ADHD, it can happen to anyone.

True, but I only get so many opportunities to use that silly ß

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Justified usage.

Get in the habit of replacing "fuck" with "sheiße" and that problem is solved!*

*People might think you're weird/a Nazi for this, even if you're actually learning German, because people are weird

I think the whole "using German means you're a Nazi" thing will have to change now since there's a much bigger country embracing Nazism...

As an ADHD person, sight reading is actually my shitty superpower. I don't understand it, but my difficulty is just starting the book. But once I'm in it's pure hyper focus.

It 's not that long, I think it is called "Leselücke" (reading gap).

If you want, you could call it "Lesegedankenwanderungsamnesie" (reading wandering thought amnesia) 🤔

at least 35 syllables long and you'll forget what your reading halfway through the word.

I'll bet there is - some of my friends call it "Leseschlaf" (reading sleep), which seems fitting.

I like this one!
