There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

Maybe by alphabete they only count "different" ones. I mean, N and n are basically the same. There's no point going over the same letter twice.

Sorry.. do you mean the longest word?\n"Antidisestablishmentarianism"  is the longest word in the english dictionary, if that's what you're talking about.

No, because it has only like 5 vowels. Which means the sentence has to have no more than five words. To make 26 letters with five words means they have to be long words. Long words usually have more than one vowel.

What is the only word in the english language that begins and ends with "und"?\n\nanswer:  underground

No, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is NOT the longest english word. Neither is antidisestablishmentarianism (although it's one of the most well known really long words). There's floccinaucinihilipilification (one letter longer than antidis...) and pneumonoultramicroscopic- silicovolcanoconiosis, at 45 letters, althought there's some dispute about that one, since it may have been made up for no other reason than to be a really long word.\n\nAnyway, back to supercalifragilisticexpialidocious... it doesn't mean anything. It's just a made up word that sounds really impressive. It's purpose (in the song) is to make the speaker sound intelligent ("...if you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious"). \n\n"Of course, you could always say it backward, which would be docious-expi-ali- istic-cali-fragil-rupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?"\n\nI listened to this song way too often in my childhood.

Yes, this is very interesting. This was discovered at Cambridge University, it is because the human mind reads each word as a whole, instead of each individual letter. That is why we can still read it. Neat huh?

It isn't in the dictionary because you spelt it wrong. \n\nTry: Antidisestablishmentarianism\n\nFrom the Oxford English Dictionary:\n\nProperly, opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England (rare): but popularly cited as an example of a long word.  \n\n1900 N. & Q. 25 Aug. 147/1 In the recent biography of Dr. Benson is an entry from the Archbishop's diary to the effect that ‘the Free Kirk of the North of Scotland are strong antidisestablishmentarians’. 1923 in Brewer's Dict. Phr. & Fable (new ed.) s.v. Long words. 1960 Amrita Bazar Patrika 17 June 6/4 But then ‘Antidisestablishmentarianism’ contains three more letters, as pointed out by two readers. 1984 T. AUGARDE Oxf. Guide Word Games xxvi. 216 The longest words that most people know are antidisestablishmentarianism..and supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
