This is the Conversation Forum for The Longest Word << Sorry, You call that long? >> Subject: Your 55 letters short! Posted Feb 25, 2004 by TheBaker   Posting 1 You said that the word was 1,913 letters, yet it only has 1858 letters! That means you're 55 letters short. And no, I did not count the letters by hand!

Posted Aug 11, 2005 by belugabob This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 If you are going to be pedantic, you're 1 letter and an apostrophe short. Now which is the biggest error, missing 55 letters from a completely unmemorable word of 1913 letters or failing - miserably - to have a grasp of basic English?

Posted Jan 21, 2007 by bowyer2326 This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 3 Well, given that the article is supposed to be about the longest word, being 55 letters short is by far the biggest mistake. This site is supposed to be about information, and you clearly have yours wrong. Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
