Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Spell Check Dictionary

There are two answers.

The longest word in any English language is the name of a small town
in Wales - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch
(see Wikipedia if you're curious about what and where this is).  I had
thought it was 56 letters, but this one is 59.  Hmm.

The longest word in American English is
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, aka black lung disease.
 It is 45 letters.

There is a longer word, which is the 85 letter long name of a village
in Africa, but I don't know what that one is (and I'm too lazy to
Google it right now :-).

FWIW.
