    They can't all be the same class tho.

    Firefighter

    Policeranger

    Mailmage

    Fisherbard

    And let's assign their race, too.

    Human Firefighter

    Elf Policeranger

    Gnome Mailmage

    Half-Orc Fisherbard

    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.

    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.
