The longest word in English is ________.

if you have learned university biology, you will find there never can be a longest word in English, let me give you an example:

The longest word in English is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcano-coniosis, (45 letters) meaning 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust'.  Look it up if you don't believe me!

I think this is the correct answer unless you are considering those long organic chemistry names!!
