How many English speaking people in our world use the word Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

Question

Please see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

( And shame on the Answers spell checker for not recognizing it )

Is it too precocious?

If you read the whole article posted by sammydavidjr you will find there is no reliable substantiation to the claims.

Answer 1

Just Mary Poppins and you.

Answer 2

The longest word in any major English language dictionary is pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volca...‡ a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of fine silica dust, but research has discovered that this word was originally intended as a hoax. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim.[1]

Answer 3

It’s a shame that we can’t enjoy the inner child within ourselves to use this word on occasion and feel a bit younger for a little while. The innocents of a child can enjoy such a word and we all need to experience this now and then. We shouldn’t take ourselves so seriously that we can’t say Supercalifragilistic - expialidocious and then laugh about it. And I have no idea how to spell it. LOL

Answer 4

Judging by the way it is oftened mentioned in the weekly Punorama competition on the BBC News web site, quite a few people want to use it but don't have the opportunity to (strangely)

Examples on there include:
" Finally, keeping up a time-honoured tradition, is Pete with Super-cuddly fragile ears? Stick earplugs on your precious and David Dee in Mozambique with Super-cans-on-fragile-ears-trick-lets-the-laddie-doze, shush. It is a beautiful game indeed - punorama that is. "

Answer 5

Only those way old enough to have seen the film Mary Poppins may have heard of this word. It is not in the Oxford English Dict. so why should anyone else even know this made-up film word.

Answer 6

I use it from time to time to test my husband too. I use it in Spanish too... Supercalifrajilistico espialidoso . Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. LOL
Why won't it show the whole word if it's all together? It automatically shows ...

Answer 7

I do when it's fitting or when I need to cheer someone up... I know that my (pusedo right now...) girlfriend uses it on occasion... Actually I think I could find a half dozen people who have used it... Now they don't do it often, but do use it..

Answer 8

I've only used it when my children were small. They are in college now and it is difficult to make a clear point to them using that word.

Answer 9

Try using that in a sentence when having dinner conversation. Not easy to do.

Answer 10

I have but not out of Mary Poppins context.
