Actually, I don't have trouble with antidisestablishmentarianism. Let's reference that to dictionary.com and see if I did spell it right...
Bwahaha... I did. First try baby.

But you wouldn't happen to know what it means also? Or is it just to know the longest word?

I know a longer word! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious: 34 letters. I got one letter wrong one my first try. It's the word to say when you have nothing to say. Antidisestablishmentarianism: 28 letters. St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow! Don't forget to wear green, or ye'll be pinched!

I meant here at the Teacup. Is that danish? I'll take two of the biggest- right there *points, then grabs them herself*. Yummy danish. Can I have a cup o' tea, too?
I love St. Patrick's Day. I was in a parade this year. I was in two last year with my Irish Dance 'troupe'. What a lot of work to dance the entire parade route! I held the banner this year. It was fun.

antidisestablishmentarianism, the longest word in the english language, means to seperate church and state, such as wishing to remove the queen from her position as head of the CofE

Antidisestablishmentarianism is to oppose the separation of church and state. (I had to look that up though.) I have the longest word in any langage written down somewhere. It's the name of a Welsh village which is basically the description of the village and everything in it. Or something.

Ooo, a friend of mine's mother knows how to pronounce that name. I wish I could. Wouldn't you love to have to put that on your return address labels?

Aha, here it is.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllandisilio gogofgoch I think it gets abbreviated as Llanfair. I can't pronounce it, but I can say the letter "ll". It's hard when it follows a vowel though. EDIT: For some reason there's a space in the word, even though I didn't type one.
