Game of Questions

As you have seen, the ESL sphinx did not swallowed me up... and I'm still alive to ask the people of this ESL community more questions !
I will do it in this topic, and I am sure that you too, have good questions to give to the people of this forum for us to have Headaches
Let's go on the first question!

Try to answer the first question:

Do you know what this word means? "pneumonoultramicroscopic- silicovolcanoconiosis"

Are we still in a ESL forum?
I don't know, number 1?

The longest word ever to appear in a non-technical dictionary of English is..
"pneumonoultramicroscopic-silicovolcanoconiosis"

It's a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica or quartz dust ;-)

The real longest official word if you include (chemical names) is 1,913 letters. The term for the formula C(1289)H(2051)N(343)O(375)S(. It'd be pretty hard to spell correctly...


"It's a disease. Or rather, it's slang for the disease you get when you inhale silicon dioxide which makes it hard to breathe. Unfortunately it was created to win a puzzle contest in 1935 and therefore doesn't pass some peoples' test for "real" words.

No one challeged him! It was created to win, u can't create something to win, that's not how compitions work. So why couldn't is challenger take pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis and make it past tense. Like:pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosised?
