it grieves me
the major dictionaries
cannot agree
on the longest word
in the English Language
The Oxford English proposes:
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Merriam-Webster champions:
electroencephalographically
and others list: floccinaucinihilipilification -
but look, I am no counterrevolutionary
and I'm not attempting any deinstitutionalisation
but really the longest word in the English Language
(and let's settle this once and for all, amicably) is:
SMILE
Why?
because there's a mile between S and E...
You see? Easy!
Makes you wonder if
the editors of major dictionaries
are visuallyintellectuallyfacialmuscularlychallenged
