But you can say one thing about Yankspeak: It's very efficient.

hehehehe. German is VERY efficient as it usually only takes
one 'word' compared to many in other languages. for instance,
here are some words from a letter I had to write about the
taxes I had to pay when I lived in Germany.

sozialversicherungspflichtig
Progressionsvorbehaltsberechnung
Einkommensteuergesetzes


think about it, "Cherokee four one niner zulu tango, six
miles northeast of FUBAR, maintain three thousand until established on
the final approach corridor, cleared for the Sacramento Executive
two-niner right approach" simply gets shortened to a single word.

Yeah. It's gets "shortened" to:

"CherokeefouroneninerzulutangosixmilesnortheastofF UBARmaintainthreethousanduntilestablishedonthefina lapproachcorridorclearedfortheSacramentoExecutivet woninerrightapproach"

That's SO much better.

one word. Now that is efficient.

So do you have to address the controller as "Doctor Doctor
Muenchen Approach...." if the controller has 2 PhD's? If
you don't, including if you only say "Doctor Muenchen..."
do they refuse to talk to you?

Of course; you've shown no respect. Isn't it "Herr Doktor Muenchen"?

hehehe. I'm sure their business title was a "manager of air" too.
After all, in the EU, all employees are managers. My old German,
woops sorry, Bavarian company had 47% managers including some
praktikantin (student interns). I used to address medical doctors
by their first name. They knew I was a New Yorker so they just
laughed and called me by my first name or something more appropriate
like "scheisskerl."
