What IS the longest word in the English language? "Antidisestablishmentarianism"? "Floccinaucinihilipilification"? Or "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," maybe? Martha and Grant discuss such sesquipedalian contenders for the title of Longest English Word. For the rest of that list of long words that Martha mentioned, check out AskOxford.com. This is part of a complete episode.
