Recently, the 2007 edition of Guiness Book of World Records listed "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" as the longest word in the English language. The medical term is a lung disease, caused by the "inhalation of very fine silica dust." This too was a purposely coined word, with the explicit intent of being a long word.
