    Default did you know...

    did you know that the longest word in the english dictionary is floccinaucinihilipilification.

    although most people think it is antidisestablishmentarianism.

    the longest word in the english language is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis but because it is a medical term, it is not in the english dictionary.

    only correct in parts. Depends on the dictonary you use, floccinaucinihilipilification is the longes in many. but supercalafradglistic (how ever its spelt) is the longest in others where it is storewd

    If you count medical terms, then u would count chemical nanesm wich are up to the lengh of 80 000 letters, so the exsample u gave isnt anyware near the longest

    the only 1 i can prunounce properly is antidisastablishmentarianism. however if you make it start with a double negative then it takes it up to 30 letters instead of 28.

    making the new word unantidisastablishmentarianism meaning objection to the opposision of the abolishment of the church. which means that this is the new longes (non medical word)
