@elexia @wwahammy @peter_sc @spiralganglion I’d even go as far as saying that in most Germanic languages compound nouns are written as a single word, and that English is the odd one out.

Although it’s disturbingly common to see random spaces inserted also in Dutch compound nouns (which I find tends to make them *more difficult* to read), a symptom of a broader phenomenon sometimes dubbed “the English disease.”

@elexia
On a side note: I write "Screen shot" in English and "Screenshot" in German.

You know, these Spaces are expensive (also hard disk storage and communications bandwith are). We need to save them wherever possible to cut costs.
Also do Spaces tend to break things, e.g. file names. AAAAAND in that little pause between two words, somebody else could start speaking and cut me off, so...

"Here's your new 'Handy'*. Do you want extended guarantee and / or Sendetastenversicherung?"

* german for 'mobile phone'

@_tillwe_ @peter_sc @spiralganglion would also be a legit translation.

I always associate Verunsicherung with the great Austrian satirical 80ies Pop Band "Erste allgemeine Verunsicherung" (EAV), that's why I am avoiding the word.

@deBaer @daveliepmann @spiralganglion I disagree.
