    Antidisestablishmentarinism is one of them![8D] BTW, my youngest was working on his spelling when he was in about the 4th grade. Breezed thru the list so I told him to spell it. He looked it up and spelled it for me 10 minutes later. Twenty yrs later, he's still a SmartA$$

      Nope, LOL ... not that hard. (Got one of them twenty something year old Smart$$$'s myself. Got him hitched and he still didn't change. Think he will soon [}]. Don't think I'm ready to be a grandpa yet though[^].)

          How about :

          Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantsyiliog ogogoch ?

          At 58 letters, it has the longest name of any town in the UK and is second only to some Maori town names in New Zealand. It's a town in Anglesey - a small island off the Welsh coast and has a railway station that boasts the longest name of any in the world:



          And if you want to impress your friends by pronouncing it, it is:

          Ghlan vire pool gwyn gill go ger u queern drob ooll ghlandus ilio gogo gock

          And to impress them further, it translates as :

          "The Church of Mary of the Pool of White Hazels near the Rapid Whirlpool (and the) Church of Tysilio of the Red Cave"

          The abreviated (English) form is : "Llanfair PG".

          Sadly, the name was a fabrication in the 19th Century by Welsh scholar John Morris-Jones to entertain the English. The original name was Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll meaning Llanfair in the township of Pwllgwyngyll.

          So there you are, everything you wanted to know about Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantsyiliog ogogoch, but were afraid to ask .
