Of course most people don&amp;#39;t hear these words on tv, radio or class. Think about what your saying. I mean how many diseases can you think of and how many actually exist? I bet you at most can name 100 diseases which to &amp;quot;common people&amp;quot; would be considered a lot, but to a doctor would be considered chump change. There are ton of these scientific words with crazy meanings that &amp;quot;common people&amp;quot; have no idea they even exist. My guess is you won&amp;#39;t even find them in a dictionary unless you get a dicitionary pertaining to that subject. The fact being though is just because they are not used a lot doesn&amp;#39;t make them not English words.</description></item><item><title>Re: What word is the longest in English?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatWordLongestEnglish/5/dnxjc/Post.htm#649705</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:18:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:649705</guid><dc:creator>Kooyeen</dc:creator><slash:comments>6</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatWordLongestEnglish/5/dnxjc/Post.htm#649705</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments20-649705.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Methionylglutaminylarginyltyrosylglutamylserylleucylphenylalanylalanylglutaminylleucylly sylglutamylarginyllysyglutamylgycylalanylph...........

You never heard anything like that, I guess, and you wouldn&amp;#39;t even be able to pronounce it.
