For those that asked!! Yes this is 100% true, you can Google it and see.
I can't work out if it's cruel or ironic.

Dyslexia is hard to spell and abbreviation is a long word, there is no ham in hamburger, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple, french fries were not invented in france, quick sand takes you down slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from guinea nor a pig, if writers write how come fingers don`t fing? If the teacher taught why don`t the preacher praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables what do humanitarians eat? Why do people recite at a play yet play at a recital, why is it that when i wind up my watch it starts but when i wind up a story it ends, do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery, why is the man who invests all your money called a broker, why is the person who plays a piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racing car not called a racist, why are wise men and wise guys opposites, if lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked can electricians be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners depressed and finally if people from poland are poles why aren`t people from holland called holes???????
Work that one out......

That's like putting a free 5 carat diamond ring in a tank of 87 spiders and placing the whole thing in someones house who suffers from Arachnophobia ---fear of spiders....very...very twisty.

No wonder they have a fear of long words. Its frightening just trying to pronounce let alone what it looks like.

They are trying to reverse the trend of if 20 words will do why use one, Or maybe your dictionary is just drunk.
By the way how do you pronounce it?
