Deutsch

Gotta love the German language. I saw this 31-letter word on the cover of a work-related report:

Erdmagnetfeldkompensationsystem (earth magnetic field compensation system)

which was developed after the Erdmagnetfeldmessung (earth magnetic field measurement). There is no need to worry about that pesky hyphen in German. In fact, I think Germans are "hyphen-phobic", as evidenced in a recent court ruling about hyphenated names (doubles such as A-B are OK, triples such as A-B-C are not).
