You can do a lot with German, but they also have very frequent language reforms. The last one in English was a few hundred years ago.

Many English compound words used today should be made into one. We have already accepted milkman and shopkeeper etc as one word, but many other compounds are still separated or hyphenated at best. Words such as milkmaid were formed when English was a lot more Germanic and so the joining of words used together was easier to adopt.

Words such as 'car park' (which is linguistically considered to be one compound word) should become carpark etc.

Fuck the hyphen I say!
