Very true Alex! I remember reading an account of the Dogger Bank action where Admiral Hipper unfortunately lead his cruisers within range of the guns of the Grand Fleet and ordered a "Come around about together" In German it was one word about 54 letters and 17 syllables long (slight exaggeration). Without that order it would have been Gotterdammerung!
