Longest Word in the English Language

Hey, I'm back again. About 10 minutes later. It's a Sunday evening and I'm bored, cut me some slack. Here's some random trivia for you; in case you haven't already heard of it, here is the longest word in the English language (uh, hence the title, duurrrr):
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Apparently it's some lung disease that comes from inhaling fine particles of silica dust, causing inflammation. Mmmm. Appetizing.
Notice the smaller words you can find in this 45 letter long word. To name a few: microscopic, silica, and...umm...volcano? ;:-/
Stay tuned,
