again, no clue. i used to know, but i've forgotten, its the fact that i can spell and pronounce it that i've always enjoyed.

OK. Doesn't matter really. It's a long word that can be used to confuse the hell out of people, which is a valuable resource on a forum like this. lol.

oh yes, valuable indeed.

I don't know many long words in English anyway. I know a few doozies in other languages, but I don't remember any of them.

bah, hopeless. how is life worth living if you can't remember long, complicated words that no-one else has ever heard of?

Here's one. I looked in my Finnish dictionary, and here is a compound word that will blow your brain: Anikaihotavoimasanapuolestakieli. I'm not entirely sure what it means, but when broken into parts, it roughly translates to "long word for language." It's possibly not actually a word, but I saw it, so I think it is. 15 syllables if anyone's interested.

whoa. but aqueosalinocalcalinoceraceaoluminosocupreovitriolic still wins, with 52 letters and 24 syllables.

Wow, 52 letters long? I wonder how that would be written in a modern dictionary...
Are you sure that's a word? Nothing came up on Wikipedia or Word Processor.

i think it's an obscure, unused and most likely scientific word. in fact it probably describes some sort of chemical or reaction. but i found it by going into ask jeeves and typing "what are the longest words in the english language?"

I always thought antidisistablishmentarianism was the longest word in the English language.

(Although, numbers written as words can be much longer)

numbers written as words aren't really one word. one thousand for example is two words. or nine hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine which is 11 words. as for anti. etc, flocc. etc is actually longer by 1 letter, but if i remember correctly, isn't a proper word; someone made it by combining lots of small words with similar meanings. there are however much, much longer words for things like chemicals and diseases.

Well, I was also wrong because a hyphon needs to be used.

does it? i wouldn't use a hyphen.

I think we learnt it in maths once. It makes the number easier to read.

eg. Twenty-one.

i suppose. but hyphens take more effort to write.

It would take you about 0.2 seconds to type one hyphen

i don't use hyphens often though, so i often forget where it is. plus, the space bar is much bigger and easier to find.

Once you've learnt where everything is on the keyboard, you can type super fast.

The only keys I need familiarising with is the !, ", £ etc. I always forget which numbers they are behind.

is teh £ sign in the same place as the $ sign? ie the 4?

I don't really understand.

There is a € and a $ behind the 4 key.
