Sorry, folks, it's in my head cause I'm studying for my Japanese final on Tuesday ^^;
That's two words actually. Arimasen Deshita. Deshita means "was" while Arimasen is a negative word that has several uses. Most of which I can't remember because it's getting late here. Gochisosama is a beter example of an anoying long Japaneese word. Though the Japaneese have it easy seeing as all there words can be expressed mostly single characters.
So...

Ayasumi nasai mina san. Itekimasu!
It actually depends. Sometimes they slap 'em together, sometimes they keep 'em apart. Now, don't ask me why...our book was written by Japanese folks, so you'd have to ask them.
Although I am a wee bit suspicious about it being written by the Japanese because the little illustrations in it are sooooooo bad.

PIN numbers- Personal Identification Number numbers. Argh.

Also, dyslexia is damn hard to spell.
Call me sheltered, but I've never actually heard these redundancies in real life. I always say "I'm going to use the ATM," and said ATM always says, "Please enter your PIN."

The Baron? You mean we're being visited by Baron Claus?

The machine is alright. It's just the people who say it. Like the "HIV virus."
Personally, I'm surprised triskaidekaphobia fell into disuse.
Then again, everyone knows it's bad luck to be superstitious.
Faith is what credulity becomes when it finally achieves escape velocity from the constraints of terrestrial discourse- reasonableness, internal coherence, civility, and candor. Thus, the men who commited the atrocities of September 11 were neither cowards nor lunatics of any sort, but Men of Faith- perfect faith- and this, it must finally be acknowleged, is a terrible thing to be.
