Thank you for some new teaching ideas for vocabulary.http://www.englishforums.com/English/LongestWordEnglishLanguage/28/jh/Post.htm#60101Wed, 08 Apr 2009 19:02:27 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:60101Guest38http://www.englishforums.com/English/LongestWordEnglishLanguage/28/jh/Post.htm#60101http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments15-60101.xmlThat's not fair, the letters between the first and last letters in "smiles" are each three blocks long.http://www.englishforums.com/English/LongestWordEnglishLanguage/28/jh/Post.htm#60099Fri, 08 May 2009 19:02:27 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:60099Guest39http://www.englishforums.com/English/LongestWordEnglishLanguage/28/jh/Post.htm#60099http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments15-60099.xmlAfter much ballyhoo, conjecture,experienced and educated attempts to identify the longest English word, try this one on for size: anticontraconvertidebenturalarbitrigenophobicide-48 letters.
