Friendship Quote of The Day:
There is no desire so deep as the simple desire for friendship.

Hi. I'm writing today to list out other facts written in the book 'Crazy English' by Richard Lederer before I return this book to the library tomorrow.
I wanna list out other long long words, courtesy of Wendy =P

antidisestablishmentarianism (28 letters)
> a doctrine against the dissolution of the establishment.

floccinaucinihilipilification (29 letters)
> something as worthless or trivial.

hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian (30 letters)
> pertaining to a very long word.

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (34 letters)
> atoning for extreme & delicate beauty [while being] highly educable.

Damn funny this one. Tongue Twister?
Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg (45 letters)
> a native American name for a lake near Webster, Massachusetts.
(Got such place ar?)
The name means:
"You fish on your side; I fish on my side; nobody fish in the middle".

A children's riddle says the longest word in English is 'Smiles'.
because there is a 'mile' between its 1st & last letters.

1 funny 1. A guy named Red Skelton maintained that the longest word in the English Language is the word that follows the voice that comes on your radio or television set & intones, "And now a word from our sponsors".

Haha! Don't understand?
Same meaning when you attend your school assembly.
When the pengawas announce,
"Sekarang dijemput Pengetua sekolah untuk memberi sepatah dua kata".
But the principal didn't speak only 1 or 2 words. Way more than that. HAHA!

That is the longest word ;)

Next, some insanity poem of past tenses written by the author:

The verbs in English are a fright.
How can we learn to read & write?
Today we speak, but first we spoke;
Some faucets leak, but never loke.
Today we write, but first we wrote;
We bite our tongues, but never bote.

Each day I teach, for years I taught,
And preachers preach, but never praught.
This tale I tell; this tale I told;
I smell the flowers, but never smold.

If knights still slay, as once they slew,
Then do we play, as once we plew?
If I still do as once I did,
Then do cows moo, as they once mid?

I love to win; and games I've won;
I seldom sin, and never son.
I hate to lose, and games I lost;
I didin't choose, but never chost.

I love to sing, and songs I sang;
I fling a ball, but never flang.
I strike a ball, that ball I struck;
This poem I like, but never luck.

I take a break, a break I took;
I bake a cake, but never book.
I eat that cake, that cake I ate;
I beat an egg, but never bate.

I often swim, as I once swam;
I skim some milk, but never skam.
I fly a kite that I once flew;
I tie a knot, but never tew.

I see the truth, the truth I saw;
I flee from falsehood, never flaw.
I stand for truth, as I once stood;
I land a fish, but never lood.

About these verbs I sit & think.
These verbs don't fit. They seem to wink
At me, who sat for years & thought
Of verbs that never fat or wought.
