What is the longest word in the English language?
Answer
Smiles – Because a ‘mile’ exists between the two S’s.
The actual longest English word is ‘Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis’ – a word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano; medically, it is the same as silicosis. The word was deliberately coined to be the longest word in English, and has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim.
