	On a side-note, English may be bad at things like this, but my 
experience so far is that French is worse.

	Of course, Welsh is by far the worst I've ever encountered -- if 
you ever hear a Welsh name that you think would result in less than 
twelve characters, you probably aren't adding enough silent vowels 
and consonants.  ;-)
