i don't know. my native language allows construction of compound words, and while this seems ridiculous to many english speakers, it's not that it makes a lot of problems in real world.
English speakers don't live in the real world?
english speakers usually don't encounter these "compound words" since they (the words) are not used in their (the people's) everyday life. thus i assumed that these compound words do not impose any problems for those people (unless they are communicating with germans that keep glueing words together)
german speakers have to deal with these words on a day by day basis, and for them it usually does not make a lot of problems in their real world.
