Unverhältnismäßig

Sony digital dictaphone

Weight of one Sony digital dictaphone: 69 grams.
Weight of accompanying documentation: 209 grams.

Unverhältnismäßig. Which is an expression we seem to use disproportionately more often in German than in English. It means disproportionate.

Actually, the pile of documentation includes the operating instructions in nine languages. Which is better than Canon supplied with the considerably more expensive Powershot S70 camera that I used to take the pictures with. Then, I only got the instructions in German. And I do prefer to have instruction books in English, so I shouldn’t complain, really!
