While you are at it, test your German vocabulary, too!
I got 46000.

Hardly an accomplishment. You guys make up words on the fly.

Actually, no. We simply sometimes omit space characters were you'd use one.

I guess you could check every word, they don't seem to verify. Maybe they have some non-words on the list and you get a penalty if you check them.

True.

Running words together to create new ones is so much more clear than separating them.

1. I know a few. Very few.
2. A lot of English words and scientific terms have German roots.
3. I guess pretty well.
