Woah. o_o I thought the longest word was a disease obtained by inhaling small dust particles from a volcano. I actually had the word memorized for a while, when my sister got to write the spelling list for her class and put it in there. xD

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

It looks like the same thing over and over to me. o_e

How can someone spend their whole day writing that word down? XD

It's the same thing over and over again, and I'm 99.9% sure that it's not real. The longest word is a lot smaller but I can't remember it. 😋

@cotton
I think the blogpost said that it wasn't even a real word but if you defined "word" real loosely it would work 😸

'few lexicographers accept chemical formulae as words. But when people go round Googling "What's the longest word in the English language?", they don't really care if it's a "real" word or not.'
I consider it a word because I think it's neat. 😊
