>I didn't count pnenumonoultramikroskopska silvulkanikonioza, because it's two words. Or "otorinolaringološka klinika" for the same reason. But we did have a radio guy who would always take a break after the third syllable, and eventually gave up and started using "clinic for throat, ear and nose".
Close to the English: "Otolaryngology Clinic" It seems English is a lot more succinct than other lang's. I've often noticed this when watching sub-titled films: the speakers rabbit on for ages, beating their gums, and the sub-tile in English can be said in a trice.
