Oops, another lost opportunity for SNA.

How about a stamp dedicated to the longest English word:
"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon"? It means: a lung disease caused
by the inhalation of volcanic ash, causing inflammation in the lungs.

"...coniosus", no? I think you cheated yourself of five letters. It's
your way on some online word lists, but I think that may be because it
reaches the 40-character (?) limit on the database field.

A grep through the list I compiled from online sources (primarily orchy)
of English words shows 20 words of length 25 or greater, but all but two
are scientific terms -- "antidisestablishmentarianism" is the longest
that is not. The second longest word overall, counting technical terms,
seems to be "dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane" with 32 letters.

If anyone wants the list, please contact me off-list for the URL. I am
wary of posting the URL in the clear here, because it costs me 1.7MB in
traffic every time it's downloaded, and I only want that to be consumed
by real, human readers -- not robots or spiders.
