Some lotta police is more orc (organized, following orders, and if you see a group of them, just turn back)

Same with Fishfighter, sounds much closer to the truth, and I can’t stop imagining a person wrestling with a large tuna or catfish in a shallow water

I know this is a joke but I will be pendantic and say there is already a gender neutral word for fisherman, which is fishmonger.
Godric@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
It’s sad, the few things one can monger.
War, fish, roumors, cheese, fear, and whores, not much else to be a mongerer-of :(

I thought a fishmonger was someone who sells fish at market, not the person who catches them.

Is it pedantry if it isn’t true though? Or am I being woooooshed?

If somebody told me this was how German worked I would believe it so I wonder if the reverse is true

In frontend development, it’s pretty common to use German to stress test UIs, as it’s a commonly used language with a lot of long words. It reveals all sorts of UI issues - text that doesn’t wrap properly, buttons that are pushed off the screen, etc.
I don’t know German, but I do like the idea of using compound nouns rather than inventing new words.
It’s also common to test UIs with Arabic, to test handling of right-to-left languages. At work we have a “fake RTL” language that’s English but rendered RTL. It’s interesting because everything is flipped - for example, a left-hand sidebar is instead on the right side in RTL languages. Company logo is at top right instead of top left.

This does not work in German because fighter is gendered as male. We have Feuerwehrmann and Feuerwehrfrau. Correct gendering in German is (I say that as an older a male) a bit complicated and makes the sentences usually mich longer or sound weird.
There was a joke solution to this that I really liked: add a “y” to the end or all gendered words: Feuerwehry, Frisöry, Mitarbeity etc.

Degendering ala Phettberg may have started as a humours way toward gender neutral language, but it evolved IMHO into a serious way next to *, :, Innen.
