pneumoultramicroscopicsilicosis, is an occupational lung disease caused by very small particles of silicates that are inhaled and lodge in the alveoli of the lungs. Found among workers who work with some silicates, if the particles are small enough to be inhaled. (apparently she CAN'T spell it correctly if she left out the initial -p, you got one on her!).

Hmmmm, it edited out the length of the word....that last part where it edited out the last letter, is -silicosis Break the word down into its segments, look up each one and connect the dots.........

pneumo- having to do with the lungs
ultra-extreme, as in extremely small
microscopic-visible under a microscope
silicosis-accumulation of silicates

Now you know something your teacher doesn't. Neener neener neener!

I understand the adventure, rather the suggestions acquire & seeing their finished existence as a unmarried experience & their place interior the "scheme of issues". that is not suprising this surpassed off on the time of baptism, a genuine being born lower back of Spirit & inventive and prescient to work out needless to say. The symbols could be particular to the guy, yet each and all the sentiments defined are classic of mystic stories, overwhelming love, no time, seeing their place needless to say. The evening & morning of the 5th day is while God created each and all the beasts of the earth, yet no longer guy yet. I even have some innovations in this working & can sense the respond yet discover myself slightly reluctant to voice them right here through outcomes. of direction, i'm staring at words describing anothers mystical adventure, yet people who've had comparable adventure can call lower back the memory of their own & see extra needless to say. thank you for sharing this adventure. advantages

so far it means ..... if there were a "p" in the front, it would mean "air ultramicroscopic" and then it cuts off.

It would be really tiny and something to do with air.

Pneumo means air.
ultramicroscopic is just what it means and
silicov... something made or to do with silicon
