It does make a difference though. The long chains of words in English are kinda clumsy compared to the Swedish/German words. In practice this just leads to English using abbreviations more.
I dunno, a lot of these German words I see I’d abbreviate the hell outta if I knew how
All of the ones here are kinda extreme. Most words are alot shorter
