To add to the smooshed-together-word-phenomenon list, also in the Star Spangled Banner- "dawnsearlynight". When I was smaller, i thought it was "donzerly light" and I never could understand why they put such a large and unknown word in a national anthem. I remember asking my mom what donzerly meant, and since she didnt know, no one possibly would. Ah to be little and sure that your parents are the smartest folks alive again.
