Hi ghislaine!
I'd like to answer to your question. I think that the right answer is an 'elastic'.
Thanks a lot for this question, it's funny.

Antidisestablishmentarianism ... nope, only 28!

What about.....
...pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis ? 45 letters.
Réponse: fun corner de traviskidd, postée le 17-05-2005 à 03:11:10 (S | E)
OK ... I think 45 letters is long enough. If you want longer words than that, you're simply going to have to learn German!!!
Réponse: fun corner de serena, postée le 17-05-2005 à 03:16:58 (S | E)
Longer than 45 letters ?
....In fact, the official longest word is the one Fantaisie gave.
Yours is of popular usage (not so bad then !
), while the one I gave is said to be a coined medical term. But I liked it.

I think the longest word you can find in the Uk is the name of a town in Wales, it must have 60 letters or something and few vowels. I am not sure but One can check in the Guinness Book
Have fun

Yes Kathleen. You see?
I had to reduce the length of your word. It was really too long and would have taken a great deal of space.

I think the only one word is LOVE
