Here’s mine!
WordPress.com?!
That home page is not the most aesthetically pleasing yet, but it’s powered by WordPress. It’s a new take on Blogger and Typepad, and hopefully it’ll make a stand.
The Invite
All I’ve got is one invite. For anyone who wants it, find the longest word in English and post it here. It has to be a word that Dictionary.com has and accepts as a real word. And extra brownie points to the word that has the greatest value when its letters are converted to Ascii numbers and are added together.
Go!
Erm, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis :D
floccinaucinihilipilification
Apparently it was in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest real word….
I don’t need the invite though, I just thought I’d post it anyways.
google’s your friend…
Oooh, that looks cool. What’s this invite for? Hmmm. Wordpress isn’t that good. Go NucleusCMS! XD
(Oh and yeah, the pneumono-etc. word is considered the longest, but because of it’s medical nature, some people debate its position. -__-”)
Nice blog.I like this.

I beg to differ, Wordpress does create much nicer urls than Nucleus does and there are several features, such standalone pages, which Nucleus doesn’t yet have. There are also a greater number of themes and plugins availible for Wordpress.

Take your pick man. Dictionary.com is hardly the definitive source on all things english. It all depends on what you’re considering a word. Medical words don’t count in my opinion. Antidisestablishmentarianism could easily be considered the longest and does appear in dictionary.com, however it’s just as easy to add -istically instead of -ism. There’s actually a whole paragraph about the word on the link I sent. The origin and validity of floccinaucinihilipilification has also been questioned by various institutions.
I think I should get the award for the most meaningless research.
Wow I thought there was only one. My closed mindedness.
So it appears that we have two people who found the longest word(s). I’ve contacted you guys about the invites :)
