Longest Word in English

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
[edit]Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a string of Latin terms that together describe an inflammatory lung disease caused by long-term inhalation of silica dust. While the word is made up, the disease is real, and it's known under the names pneumoconiosis, silicosis, or black lung in the UK. 210.1.127.194 (talk) 03:49, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- The wikipedia page for pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis states that it is not silicosis or black lung, but a subset of it. The page here is misleading. 172.58.109.40 (talk) 05:29, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
