LOOOONGEST!!

It may interest you to know that the official longest word in English language is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Allow me a second, that word has taken the wind out of me! It's the name usually used to describe a lung disease that miners catch by inhaling fine silica dust. It 's also not a word people usually  work  into a conversation unless they are intent on acquiring blisters in the mouth or worst still break their entire jaw. Of course, Smiles may still be considered the unofficial longest word in English. According to the joke, there is a mile between the beginning S and the last S. As for me, I like a word I can actually use. Even now.. as I wish you a day filled with SMILES!
