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.

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!
