A hell of a tongue-twister. My tongue is now numb trying to read that out, Aka.
On this light-hearted topic, I would like to share a 'word' with you guys. Back about 30 years ago when I was still at college, I came across the word 'stagflation' during my Economics lessons. I wasnt paying attention but I knew this wasnt good for the economy. Being a true gambler, I tried to guess what it meant and aha, since a stag is a fast-running animal, this should mean hyperinflation or runaway inflation or at least inflation in double digits. Now, so many years older but not necessarily wiser, I finally read what that 'term' means frrom the newspapers and that stagnant growth coupled with inflation.
So, trying to guess a term or a result(at the tables) can be a real joke.
