This word sounds strange
and I can speak German
I guess it doesn't matter how it sounds or even if it is a correct German word, it remains the word that is used in all the technical and scientific literature and if the first person to use it got it wrong then it is going to continue to be wrong for all time!

In fact there's nothing special about "Schmutzdecke". It's a perfectly normal German compound. 93.104.76.140 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:02, 1 January 2009 (UTC).Reply
