Physics news on Phys.org
Conductor: "Now arriving at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantsiliogogogoch"

Passenger: "Gesundheit"
 
I've been there. And I've heard it spoken several times.

It's that bad with a little practice.
 
The Welsh and the Germans should get together to see who can make the longest words. I was in grade school when I first saw that sign. They still haven't shortened it. I doubt if the Germans can match it.

EDIT: On the other hand: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsesetz. (For some reason, a space is being inserted, but it is one word.)
