For the uninitiated. (pinched from Wikipedia)..
The longest word in any of the major English language dictionaries is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a word which refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano. Research has discovered that this word was originally a hoax; medically, it is the same as silicosis. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim.
.....and in my career I've only ever seen one sufferer.

silly me.
BTW; Q for Per, I have thought long and hard about it but wouldn't it be possible to use AKAVITT as a propellant for a mach 5 shoulder launched missile?
Have a nice trip!
