But that word can be broken up in to like two root words, alot of suffixes and alot of prefixes. All of this debating is really confusing!Thinking [*-)]

that's not the longest word because it isn't really all one word. Things in it mean different things therefore it cannot all be one word, each string is also repeated in different variations throughout. So, really it is jus a long paragraph with the same words repeated over.
