Enjoy!

Gee, I thought you were going to pronounce this word for us, CD. :lol:

Well, try saying that after a night out in the pub. I suppose unless your scientist you would not use it.

Well Master Krummhorn - your wish is my command:

*Gobbledygook*

Hows that? :lol::lol::lol::nut:

Cheers,

CD

As PooTube is banned, can someone type it out here please?

You guys beat me to it. I thought for sure, CD would be able to pronounce it, not to mention identify its meaning for us...such a smart one, our CD.

Sorry, CT but the word is over 1900 letters long. So just think of some jibberish, squish it all together and there you have it!

It's actually the longest scientific word in the English language, and, at that is a combination of the names of proteins and other bits and pieces so...nah, I don't buy it. However antidisestablishmentarianism is sometimes considered the longest true word in English (i.e. not made up of proteins and vitamins, etc).

Why thank you GC - that was very kind of you - I tried to enunciate it but got lost after the first page :crazy::shake::banghead:

You guys are so funny!:grin::lol::nut::bawl::grin:

Good heavens Dame Margaret - did you manually type in all that? Dear woman, say it ain't so........Oh my Lord - Bless you for your efforts. If you type at a speed of 60 wpm then it wouldn't take so long.

Well to be honest CD I didn't. I cheated, found it on a website and copied and pasted it. The lazy way I'm afraid.

Aloha Dame Margaret,

Thank goodness! Anyway, bless you for your efforts.

Humbly,

CD

You are very welcome, I hope it will be good for CT, as his net nanny won't let him see youtube.

*nods sagely at Dame Margaret*
