What is longest word in the dictionary ? Brain Teaser

OpenStudy (nathanhill1089):

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"The longest word in any of the major English language dictionaries is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles,[8] specifically from a volcano; medically, it is the same as silicosis. The word was deliberately coined to be the longest word in English, and has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim.[4]" via wikipedia :)
