Uncopyrightable.....any good??

The only other one is.....Not telling you cos I want someone else to have a chance.
But there is only one more in the English language!

[Cruzr Joe]

Well that was too easy, that is the only word in the dictionary that meets the requirements.

OJ says there is one more ..................... what is it? dermatoglyphics


I did not realise that you could google that and get an answer, I am behind the times.

Yep!! Dermatoglyphics is the word!:thumbup:

So what is the longest word in the English dictionary? :read:

I dunno OJ, but I've had this awful cough & chest pain ever since I went 'volcano diving' a coupla years back, & the Doc says it's all related to the longest word in the dictionary?!?! D'ya think that he might know something about what it is?? The word that is, I hope he knows about the 'complaint!' :shocked:

There again, I have at times been accused of being just a little sesquipedlian, but I think it's far more likely that most people who complain are just suffering from hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.... :thumbup:

(damn, I hope I spelt that word correctly!)

That one lost it's standing when Sound of Music brought us supercalifragilisticexpialidocious which is 4 letters longer. But that pneumo**** thing beats it by 11 letters!
