Sorry, but i know a longer word- lots of them. the longest one i know is too long to pronounce or reproduce here, but if you want to find it type in 'ornicopy' on google.com

floccinaucinihilipilification: derives from the latin 'flocci non facio...' = "I don't give a hang for..." and is the longest English word stated as an actual 'word'. Chemicals DO NOT count. 'nihil' is the latin for 'nothing' and 'ification' is the English affix for 'the state of being'. Incidentally, 'flocci' alone means 'fluffy' in English. I think we had better leave the rest alone...

Therefore:

Sidling lazily down the road on a summer's afternoon (raining, then, probably) I may say to myself, 'I am in perfect floccinaucinihilipilification'. Then, of course, I find my shoeslaces are undone, trip over them and fall face down in the gutter.

Alas! The emotion is gone.

;) For the sake of Sweet Mint Tea add me to Msn! I have no contacts and am getting desperate!

This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

An evil amount of 1,185 letters! I got this at http://www.fun-with-words.com/word_longest.html
