This weeks word is the full name for the chemical Titin

This word is the longest in the english language and is so long it takes 4.2 hours just to say I would copy and paste the word but it would just take up space. It is actually 189,184 letters long(I didn't count them) This word is so long because of the use of so many prefixes that it takes to describe it it is the most complicated and they have to make it in latin so it eventually just got longer and longer. I would have told you more but could not find enough information but for the full name go to Wikianswers and ask "What is the full chemical name for Titin?"

Titin may be the longest word but the word antidisestablishmenterrionism is the longest usable word, in case you were wondering.
