      Hate to burst your bubbles, but the longest word in the English language is


      SMILES, because there is a mile between the first and last letters ...

          That scientist who named this disease is an a**hole.  He must have wanted all the medical students to fail.  what's wrong with just:


          pneumonotinyconiosis?


          ultramicroscopic merely means tiny or infinitesimal.  Just call it tiny, professor.

            What's the volcanoconiosis at the end? I couldn't figure this word out at all.
