You're the one who first called it a "compound" in this thread.

People in Pakistan don't use the word "compound" so I doubt they have anything to say about it at all. :bunny:

Given that Urdu and English are the two main languages spoken in Pakistan I imagine they use the word compound and complex quite often.
"Pakistan is a multilingual country with more than sixty languages being spoken. English is the official language of Pakistan and used in official business, government, and legal contracts"
