I could go on, but this is already a pretty long post. All in all, a good place to live, but I for one am looking elsewhere.
PneumonoÂ­ultraÂ­microscopicÂ­silicoÂ­volcanoÂ­coniosis succeeded electrophotomicrographically as the longest word in the English language recognized by the National Puzzlers' League at the opening session of the organization's 103rd semi-annual meeting held yesterday at the Hotel New Yorker.
Even longer still is 'Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia', at 36 characters, it is the fear of long words. They should have made it shorter. Unofficially the longest word is 'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis' at 45 characters, meaning 'a lung disease'. It was created solely for the purpose of being the longest word, however, it does appear in a few dictionaries.
