This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

(45) PNEUMONO ULTRA MICRO SCOPIC SILICO VOLCANO CONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONO ULTRA MICRO SCOPIC SILICO VOLCANO KONIOSIS) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.
This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

antidisestablishmentarianism is the longest word.. you cant claim chemical compositions as a word

Wow. I wish there was a word that had every letter in it

That's crazy man. I got bored of reading the word about a quarter of the way through, lol.

I would have to assume that there is one. Try googling it. If you find anything, you may just earn a spot in the thread .

I stopped reading after the first 5 letters.

Haha I don't even know if you could call what I did reading. My eyes kind of scanned over it, lol.

For many years, three basic definitions of reading have driven literacy programs in the United States (Foertsch, 199. According to the first definition, learning to read means learning to pronounce words. According to the second definition, learning to read means learning to identify words and get their meaning. According to the third definition, learning to read means learning to bring meaning to a text in order to get meaning from it.

Well, based off the definition, I would say that is not reading .
