Remember sometime ago i said I learned a new word that was so long that I can’t even pronounce it? Today I stumbled upon another word.
The Google Tool bar in Firefox is a wonderful tool. When you type a certain word in the search bar, a few suggestions drops down and if anyone of the suggestions natches your search, you save the trouble of typing the whole phrase. Today, I typed in the word ‘longest..’. before I could finish, there was a few choices like ‘longest word in the dictionary’ or ‘longest word in english’ See? Damn good neh. Since I was offered some choices, I clicked on ‘Longest word in the dictionary’ and I stumbled on this word in wikipedia.
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis(45 letters)
You go pronounce that! I’m not going to crack my head. It is a term used to refer to a certain kind of lung disease. I think the person who gets this disease will die earlier trying to tell his family the name of the disease rather than dying from the disease itself. There is another longer one if youare interested. It’s,
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu (85 letters) which is the name of a hill in New Zealand. And I want to give you this boner!

Ask you die oredi onot? No! I’m not bluffing you. This word was coined by James Joyce in his novel Finnegans Wake, it allegedly is the symbolic thunderclap representing the fall of Adam and Eve.
