i'd contain only one letter in spite of the indisputable fact that it contains 2 sounds. An "a" is a better suited selection, yet by skill of itself it does no longer mean some thing. in my view, the shortest note is the answer to the question "What did you face look like earlier your father and mom were born?" which isn't meant to contain some thing vocal. The longest note ever recorded in an English dictionary is "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoco... it really is a uncommon lung disease, in spite of the indisputable fact that the longest note ever recorded in a medical e-e book is "acetylseryltyrosylserylisoleucylthreony... phenylalanylvalylphenylalanylleucylser... aspartylprolylisoleucylglutamylleucyll... threonylserylserylleucylglycylasparagi... glutaminylthreonylglutaminylglutaminyl... glutaminylvalylglutaminylglutaminylphe... tryptophyllysylprolylphenylalanylproly... arginylphenylalanylprolylglycylasparty... arginyltyrosylasparaginylalanylvalylle... threonylalanylleucylleucylglycylthreon... arginylasparaginylarginylisoleucylisol... asparaginylglutaminylglutaminylserylpr... threonylleucylaspartylalanylthreonylar... alanylthreonylvalylalanylisoleucylargi... asparaginylleucylvalylasparaginylgluta... threonylglycylleucyltyrosylasparaginyl... phenylalanylglutamylserylmethionylsery... threonylserylalanylprolylalanylserine" it really is a 1185-letter chemical compound.
