I said the people who answered with 'Smiles' were CLOSE, not RIGHT. it's not 'Smiles'.

nope, none of you got it right. the answer was: "EQUATOR", because it circles the globe. 10 points to the first person who guessed 'smiles', because it was a good guess.

The longest word in any major English language dictionary is pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­coniosis, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of volcanic ash, 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.

"smiles" is considered the longest word because there is a "mile" between the first and last letters.
