can you say the longest word ever
Major dictionaries. The longest word in any of the major English language dictionaries 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.
Naturally, some smarty pants might make a case for smiles being the longest word in the English language. Sure, it has only six letters, but you can also truthfully say that there is a âmile between the first and last letters!
