antidisestablishmentarianism*
[anti-dis-establish-meant-airy-uh-nizum]

Just leave out the int you put in there, i think? I'm not sure if it ends with that 'a' or an 'o' at the end...

(I'll spare the forum tables by not posting the entire word)

Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Strain.
This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

This is something you learn in high school. Then you think you're a cool person when you repeat it.

I could, just as easily, make up:

Antidisapprovalmentalist, or Protagonisticalarianism

Do NOT re-edit your post again to stretch the tables.
Consider this a verbal warning, even though the first one should have been.

Actually you're all wrong. The lonest real word is:

29 letters, official longest.

Exactly. They missed a great movie that Guillermo Diaz was in, High School High.

He played a gangster character named Paco, I think.

He still used the word "B" when he said lines too.
