“Stump the Chumps” for September 4th – Longest English Word

The longest word in the English language is so long, it actually causes formatting problems when writing blogs.

According to Melissa, our "Stump the Chumps" contestant this morning, the longest English word is "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis", which is a condition you can get from inhaling volcanic ash. I believe it's ultimately what killed the Flintstones.

Like most trivia, this fact has it's share of haters and doubters.

Here is a list of words in contention for longest English word. Use them all at least once today in conversation.
