Ms. APN, the largest real word in the english language is considered to be floccinaucinihilipilification at 29 letters, according the guinness book of world records. The word that you had quoted is the largest made-up word by this dude so that he could get credit for contributing the english language's longest word. But sadly though, even though his word is in the dictionary, he is not given that recognition in literary circles. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, all this hoopla about the longest word is just a further illustration of men's fixation on length! And one would think that big words should mean big things.... but floccinaucinihilipilification means exactly what it itself is..... "worthless"!
but pneumonoultramicroscopicsiliconvolcanokoniosis IS a word in the english lang. nevertheless. go check it out in a recent dictionary.

Do you even read posts before you reply to them? Did I say that pneumonoultramicroscopicsiliconvolcanokoniosis is not an english word? If you read my post again you'll clearly notice that the argument I put forth had nothing to do with the existence of these words in the dictionary. You seem to be one of those people who like to hear themselves talk, or in this case see their messages posted, with hardly any regard to even trying to sound intelligent. But you're young... you have time to learn.

you seem to be one of those people who think everythin is a conspiracy against them.

I was just sayin that pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis IS, indeed, a word, making it the longest in the Eng language.

If you really have to have the last word, then at least come up with something smart or mildly relevant.
