Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Fear of long words.
That's what it means. Can you imagine, actually having a phobia that you couldn't even say because you were simply afraid of it?
How ridiculous.
But I decided to learn how to spell it, as it's so funny.
I also learned how to spell the longest word in the English language: Pneumonoultramicroscopicovolcanoconiosis
Correct me if I'm wrong. It means, according to dictionary.com:
–noun
an obscure term ostensibly referring to a lung disease caused by silica dust, sometimes cited as one of the longest words in the English language.
Coolio, eh?
