Angie Deiter and all, For we Americans who do not read or speak the language, learning that the words can be broken down into smaller segmental words is sensible and makes makes much better sense to me in using the language. Now I know why my hand held dictionary would not come up with some of the words we saw. The words are combinations somewhat like our words "Housekeeping" or "Homemaker". We too do the same thing here in the states. As to Deiter's remark regarding four letter words, they do take away from the language and show a contempt for good useage of language. Always felt that someone who used four letter words did so because they could not come up with enough descriptive language to make their feelings known. Enough tomfoolery.
