It’s objectively a loss of information and more difficult to read

It also gives information that these words belong together in a single word

Could be accomplished with hyphens like a dignified language

Petition to change German orthography into that weird American phonetic spelling so the yanks will not be too confused about other languages than American existing:

Almost every language in the world uses breaks and spaces between words. It’s the Germans who are wrong

Chinese, Japanese, and Korean don't.

Korean does use spaces actually, and Japan uses them sometimes but not consistently. Chinese is the only language I can think of that never uses them.

Arabic, Cyrillic Languages, Romance Languages, Ancient Hebrew, Sanskrit, Irish & Germanic languages all use spaces. Some of the Germanic ones just decided to get weird with it sometimes.
