A very very long word from Sam


Dear Word Spy,

Do you know this word?

It is...wait for it ...

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!

Isn't that a long word? That word has 19 syllables, 46 letters which consist of 26 consonants and 20 vowels. Meaning is here:http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

Dear Sam,

Wow - imagine if you had to carve that word on a gravestone with a chisel - your hand would fall off!

Thanks for sending me that - I wonder if any other spies out there know some long words?

Yours (in brief)

The Word Spy
