Enjoy!

Gee, I thought you were going to pronounce this word for us, CD. :lol:

Well, try saying that after a night out in the pub. I suppose unless your scientist you would not use it.

As PooTube is banned, can someone type it out here please?

You guys beat me to it. I thought for sure, CD would be able to pronounce it, not to mention identify its meaning for us...such a smart one, our CD.

Sorry, CT but the word is over 1900 letters long. So just think of some jibberish, squish it all together and there you have it!

 

[Contratrombone64]

It's actually the longest scientific word in the English language, and, at that is a combination of the names of proteins and other bits and pieces so...nah, I don't buy it. However antidisestablishmentarianism is sometimes considered the longest true word in English (i.e. not made up of proteins and vitamins, etc).

Why thank you GC - that was very kind of you - I tried to enunciate it but got lost after the first page :crazy::shake::banghead:

Good heavens Dame Margaret - did you manually type in all that? Dear woman, say it ain't so........Oh my Lord - Bless you for your efforts. If you type at a speed of 60 wpm then it wouldn't take so long.

 

[marval]

Well to be honest CD I didn't. I cheated, found it on a website and copied and pasted it. The lazy way I'm afraid.


Margaret

 

[Corno Dolce]

Aloha Dame Margaret,

Thank goodness! Anyway, bless you for your efforts.

Humbly,

CD

 

[marval]
