Want to know the longest word in English....!
"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis "


which simply means 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine

silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs."

The normal name is Silicosis!!!

Thank God they shortened it to Silicosis otherwise I would have got Scoliosis of my brain to memorize that.
