^_^So what exactly is the longest word in the world?

^_^It all depends on your point of view, but here goes:

(@_@)Officially the longest word is:-
'floccinaucinihilipilification'

=29 characters, meaning 'the act of estimating as worthless'.

(@_@)Then there's:-
'antidisestablishmentarianism'

=28 letters, meaning 'opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England'. It is often considered the longest word as it has an actual meaning instead of being created just to be long.

(@_@)Unofficially the longest word is:- 'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis'

=45 characters, meaning 'a lung disease'. It was created solely for the purpose of being the longest word, however, it does appear in a few dictionaries.

(@_@)The longest place name is that of a hill in New Zeland:-

=85 characters:
TAUMATAWHAKATANGIHANGAKOAUAUOTAMATEATURIPU
KAKAPIKIMAUNGAHORONUKUPOKAIWHENUAKITANATAHU

(@_@)The word with the most letters is a name of protein, as a name, it technically does not qualify as a word, but at

=1913 characters, we just had to include it. Theoretically these names can contain an infinite amount of characters, but this one qualifies as it has actually been used in a medical journal.
