Saru Posted November 25, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2012 One man has decided to record himself reciting the world's longest word at 189,819 letters long. The English word has 189,819 letters and takes more than 3. 5 hours to pronounce. This video is so boring it makes waiting in line at to renew your driver's license seem exciting.Read more... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozman Posted November 25, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2012 That word sounds like Russian or some European language, and it keeps repeating similar sounding letters so its like bunch of words put together and nothing like English at all. But if they say its English then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rlyeh Posted November 25, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2012 And the one who invented this word is even more stupid.

Rut Roh Posted November 25, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Ummmm, maybe this is just my dumbness coming out buuuut.... how did the reading start with the clock behind him starting at 12 and when he finished it was at a little after 4. The only problem is that the video only lasts 3:33?? Smoke wafting out of my ears from all the gears that are grinding. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeycat Posted November 25, 2012 #12 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I would imagine the video has been edited, as who want's to sit through 3. 5 hours worth! The the video on Youtube is 3 1/2 hours long... So how long is the original/unedited? I was under the impression that he did it in one go. It seems he did this over days (judging by the state of the flowers towards the end) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted November 25, 2012 #13 Share Posted November 25, 2012 The the video on Youtube is 3 1/2 hours long... I didn't say it wasn't. I said - I would imagine the video has been edited, as who want's to sit through 3. 5 hours worth! Meaning who wants to sit and watch 3.5 hours worth.

FlyingAngel Posted November 25, 2012 #14 Share Posted November 25, 2012 This is the chemical name, no one just sat down and invented the name on their own. http://en.wikipedia....ry_nomenclature Right, and the name is just created on their own, poped out from nothing.

The YouTube link is to a video which is 3 hours 33 minutes long it's not a 5 minute highlight clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so sorry, of course you are right and I'm not 'with it' today I fast forwarded the video to watch it to the end and forgot it was over three hours long!

But if they say its English then so be it. I really don't know why they do present this word to be an English one. It's not an English word and i'm glad someone pointed it out. Anyway, i don't trust this video. It supposed to be funny...? It surely seems fake though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
