The Friday File: The longest English word is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. It is a noun that refers to a lung disease resulting from inhaling very fine silica or quartz dust. Most importantly, it is 45 letters long. In second at 36 letters, hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. It is the name of the fear of long words, really! Next, our favorite at 34 letters, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which is something to say when you have nothing to say.
