"The longest word in any major English language dictionary is:
pneumonoÂultraÂmicroÂscopicÂsilicoÂvolcanoÂconiosis
a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease, 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]"
"The longest non-technical word is:
flocciÂnauciÂnihiliÂpiliÂfication
at 29 letters."
"AntiÂdisÂestablishmentÂarianism
(a nineteenth century movement in England opposed to the separation of church and state) at 28 letters is still in colloquial currency for being one of the longest words in the English language."

Anti-Disestablishment, basically a Conservative. The Anti- and Dis- cancel each other, and truly, you are left with a concept that supports the establishment. The longest word? I dunno. Spell check let it pass.
