I've added my own pronounciation. Hope it's okay with you, if not just say why and you can take it down. Fin01 18:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


Forgive me, I couldn't help myself, I just had to put it in ...

Now link to it!

Hey, its ok I love that word too!!!!

Of course, I haven't seen anyone professing antidisestablishmentarianism by that name lately. Perhaps this particular movement is dead. Perhaps I'll restart it. That's right, it's neoantidisestablishmentarianism...


neoantidisestablishmentarianism...

Argh... groan... Anyway, welcome aboard, clasqm. Thanks for adding this topic. I've done some work on it in the past, so maybe if I dig out an old essay... -- Claudine

Wasn't it a historical movement? Shouldn't it be essentially an article about intellectual or cultural (or church) history? --LMS


Perhaps I'll restart it. That's right, it's neoantidisestablishmentarianism...

In that case I will start a counter-movement:

contraneoantidisestablishmentarianism

Making your actions:

contraneoantidisestablishmentarianistic.

Contraneoantidisestablishmentarianistically inclined people of the world, unite: you have nothing to lose but your brains!


I thought the longest word (that meets the criteria given) was Floccinaucinihilipilification - justfred


Heh, that was funny. While reading this article yesterday, I immediately saw and corrected the misspelling of 'Pesudo'antidisestablishmentarianism, but failed to notice 'altough' and 'oppostion.' Oh well. Graue 19:45 Dec 19, 2002 (UTC)


What about pseudocontraneoantidisestablismentarianistically? that's longer.


so If I joined the contraneoantidisestablishmentarianism movement I suppose that would make me a contraneoantidisestablishmentarianismist

actually that would only make you a contraneodisestablishmentarian. Adding the ism and ist is unnecessary. -64.80.226.186 16:48, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I hate those people who love to pretend to be a contraneoantidisestablishmentarianist, therefore I will act

contrapseudocontraneoantidisestablishmentarianistically.

...but can you define it, or use it in a sentence? :P TTD Bark! (pawprints) 04:06, 2004 Sep 12 (UTC)

'a monstrosity' - in the final sentence. Is that really NPOV?

I guess not, but does it really matter? This is an article about a supposed longest english word.

[edit] Connection to Arianism?

Does anyone know of the purpose of the arian in antidisestablishmentarianism? Is there some connection to 4th century Arianism? 129.129.152.74 08:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Morphemes

A morpheme is the smallest part of a word that retains an individual significance.

For example, the word 'antidisestablishmentarianism' can be broken down into the following morphemes: anti/dis/establish/ment/ari/an/ism (7 morphemes).

The morphemes in this word that are perhaps less obvious in their individual meanings are:

"ari" (makes the antidisestablishment an adjective) "an" (an individual who subscribes to antidisestablishmentary views)

I took that from the article on "longest word in the english language" (if anyone knows its actualy title, feel free to make that into a link). Vimescarrot 13:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] verse in dispute?

As author of the verse presently appearing on the page, I would like to learn if a small verse in any real way violates the "original research" protocol. The verse is made public domain. It is stripped of my name. There is no gain in it for myself, but to think it may be useful and interesting as a compact illustration of this lasting word.

The Church is yet established to the State in England, but not so in Ireland.

The most salient question, I think: If poetry of public domain status is regularly printed to Wikipedia, then why shouldn't a competent author, in a special circumstance such as this, refer his own poem to the article?

Two other similar-specialty verses were put up concurrently: one at "carpe diem" and one at "Flatiron Building".

Carpe diem in poetry has a history.

I think (musing) that it has a present also.

Is a deep parsing of the protocol needed? I feel I may be in a gray area.

Thanks for your patience- however it goes is OK by myself.

Removed a nonsense word from the links of other really long words (Antiapplementalicondrumalecremententibacsteralopsclorosisismaligaleegaloctarosis), the antiapple... part should have given it away.

[edit] Clearly not the longest word

Antidisestablishmentarianism is not longer than "P45"

The difference is that most people can memorise "antidisestablishmentarianism" quite easily, but I would think the word above was probably cut and pasted from elsewhere.--MacRusgail 16:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wheel of Fortune

Wheel of Fortune links to the disambiguation page. I'm not sure which article the link should link to, so someone else needs to change the link. -- VGF11 01:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
