The Longest English Word I Ever Seen by Psoul(m): 11:05am On Oct 14, 2015
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (/njuːˌmɒnoʊˌʌltrəmaɪkrɵˌskɒpɪkˌsɪlɪkoʊvɒlˌkeɪnɵkɒnaɪˈoʊsɪs/). This is the longest English word I have ever seen. I dont even know how to pronounce this word. I have severally tried to learn pronouncing this, but keep bluffing. Who can pronounce this word at ago?

Meanwhile, the word is an English word that refers to a lung disease that is otherwise known as silicosis.

The longest word in the world is actually the name of a certain ORGANIC CHEMICAL COMPOUND.

It is so long that it is practically unprintable (at least, by hand).

Most other "longest word" titles you may come across are merely runners up. They are by far NOT the longest words, including this one.
