        @Snowden "Politikerverdrossenheit" would be more correct. German people have more apathy about politicians, not about politics in general.

        @HH_Rick @Snowden @dalFionavar @rumsibumi I prefer calling it "Händi", so we don't get confused by thinking it was actually an English word.

        @Snowden yes, but in the end we basically just omit the space between ‘political’ and ‘apathy'

        @klangberater I’d say we don’t omit them. They add unnecessary spaces everywhere in the middle of words. @snowden
