That is, if we were to take a look at all languages in the world and throughout history, what would the longest word be? Is it:

"methionylglutaminylarginyltyrosylglutamylserylleucylphenylalanylalanylglutaminylleucyllysylglutamylarginyllysylglutamylglycylalanylphenylalanylvalylprolylphenylalanylyalylthreonylleucylglycylaspartylprolylglycylisoleucylglutamylglutaminylserylleucyllysylisoleucylaspartylthreonylleucylisoleucylglutamylalanylglycylalanylaspartylalanylleucylglutamylleucylglycylisoleucylprolylphenylalanylserylaspartylprolylleucylalanylaspartylglycylprolylthreonylisoleucylglutaminylasparaginylalanylthreonylleucylarginylalanylphenylalanylalanylalanylglycylvalylthreonylprolylalanylglutaminylcysteinylphenylalanylglutamylmethionylleucyalanylleucylisoleucylarginylglutaminyllysylhistidylprolylthreon ylisoleucylprolylisoleucylglycylleucylleucylmethionyltyrosylalanylas paraginylleucylvalylphenylalanylasparaginyllysylglycylisoleuc..."?

There is this "thing" that is similar to a dictionary. Except when you look up a word such as "happy' they don't give you a definition. Instead this thing gives you a list of other words that means the same thing. If you look up a word such as "long", they give you a list of more sophisticated words that mean the same things, words such as "extensive"

I am reading a novel called Lord of the Flies, and they use the word scar to describe something on the island. Does anyone know what it could be?

Example; you're gullable - people run over you, you're anal, people still run over you. Situations where it should be a different result because circumstances are so different - but the result comes out the same.

As in, "most of the document is concerned with legal butt-covering by both parties"? I have a paper due in two hours and need a politically correct way to rephrase this. :p (no vulgar answers, please.)

Is this some sort of backwards Kentucky thing or what? How can this actually make sense to Kentuckians. The mascot is supposed to represent the team and the students. If there was only 1 player on the team or 1 student I could understand this, but there's not. I don't think there are any other singular mascot names out there. Anybody got an explanation for this or know of any other mascot names that aren't pluralized??? Come on Kentucky, please lay off the booze and stop mating with your cousins.

I have an issue with spelling & grammer - for the most part. Especially within the business or professional fields. I don't mean to but it just gets to me when I read a letter from a "professional" and there are misspelled words. These days most people use a computer to compose them so why don't they use the spell check feature or open a dictionary... I don't get it... I'm just venting here people so don't go all pyscho on me.... I'm sure I'm not the only one that is bothered by misspelled words.
