pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis:shock:
This is the longest English word that I know.
I learned it from a teacher when I was a junior high school student.
I thought, "How can you remember the spelling of the word? You are a genius!"
Much later on, I found it is actually composed of several parts:
pneumono-ultra-microscopic-silico-volcano-coniosis
It's a lot of fun to introduce this word to students in class. They say, "What's that? Is it a sentence?":lol:
Anyway, do you know any longer words than this?
