I wish to be abundantly clear that I wasn’t attacking your position, but that folks on the fence about “what makes a proper English word” should have some examples where English does the thing that makes the language fairly incomprehensible unique.

Not sure if this was intentional

I absolutely intended that and I’m glad you noticed! The doppelkupplungsgetriebe example is also a reference to an episode of Top Gear (UK). I meant to hyperlink both to their respective YouTube videos but entirely forgot.
