Antidisestablishmentarianism?
137965
Antidisestablishmentarianism is a political philosophy that is opposed to the separation of church and state. The term originated in the context of the nineteenth century Church of England, where "antidisestablishmentarians" were opposed to proposals to remove its status as the state church of England.

I have to tell you I'm very disappointed to see some of the comments above posted ESPECIALLY from some of you who I have had disagreements in the past but gave a grudging respect to for being open and honest enough to debate, Congress passed a law called The Americans With Disabilities Act because disability is just that,  lacking the ability to do as others, would you not want wheelchair ramps so para & quadrepelgics can get in and out of a building, or a stall wide enough to use a public restroom? Would you not have translation for the deaf in public policy debates or simply so they too can enjoy the basic pleasure of understanding a television show with closed captioning? Would you step over them for a dollar? I Ask because that sure seems to be the case with some of the posts above mine, man I'm not even a christian but I find some of you AMORAL, what the heck happened to make you so bitter, so hateful for the less fortunate? Or does your mind ever even consider anyone other than yourself? Doing the right thing is doing the right thing PERIOD, but I see some would have it turn political as if basic human dignity is a only for those who are whole, well you show you will never be whole as a human with comments like those, you lack some fundamental quality that is what makes us human, I see your posts and I'm ashamed to be in the same species as you, Hope nothing ever happens to those posters that makes life's challanges so great that they may look for or need assistance, but if it did, you'd damn well deserve it. \n\nI see one post has since been removed after consideration of my answer, Thank you for taking the time to see another side and after consideration, being open and honest enough to take the post down, open minds are the essence of a civilized society.

The Violation of chatting is about the only one that seems to get results. I have seen the F word the B word the S word\nand a few letters in between used openly and have yet to see one being removed. I am beginning to suspect that Y/A is not as Neutral as it should be.

Of course I'm appalled... but that's the ACLU.  Their origins were sound and reasonable... but they have crossed into areas that are amusing/appalling !!\n\nThe ACLU will defend anyones right to their interpretation of "free-speech":  the Klan, White Supremicists, Islamic Terrorists...\n\nThen again... it's nice to have a counter to the Religious Right who wish to ban: Harry Potter books, Catcher in the Rye, etc.

I believe it's "antidisestablishmentarianism", which is the policy of the Church of England through the early 20th Century.

The Oxford English Dictionary does have genuine (if rather obviously deliberate) examples in their files of antidisestablishmentarianism (28 letters) and floccinaucinihilipilification (29 letters), which are listed in some of their larger dictionaries. \n\nOther words (mainly technical ones) recorded in the complete Oxford English Dictionary include:\n\n    otorhinolaryngological (22 letters),\n    immunoelectrophoretically (25 letters),\n    psychophysicotherapeutics (25 letters),\n    thyroparathyroidectomized (25 letters),\n    pneumoencephalographically (26 letters),\n    radioimmunoelectrophoresis (26 letters),\n    psychoneuroendocrinological (27 letters)\n    hepaticocholangiogastrostomy (28 letters),\n    spectrophotofluorometrically (28 letters),\n    pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30 letters).

Someone needs to worry less about other people's grammatical skills and more on their own READING skills. You are in violation of the forum rules. This is not the place for your high and mighty soap box routine. Did you ever stop to think for a minute than some of the 'posters' may write or speak 'English' as a second language? You have no idea of the educational or economical backgrounds these people come from. Mine is just as limited as yours. My friend, it looks like you may need help with practicing/learning good manners. I can go on and on about about the flaws I observed in your 'question' but I won't. Consider yourself chastised. (I don't think posting this 'question' made you feel any better about your own short comings did it? What did you 'really' gain from it? Probably nothing. LOL)

JD, the left-wing activist are working very hard to make it a racial slur.  I don't know where you live, but here in Dallas, I listen to KLIF radio.  Gregg Knapp had Domingo Garcia, who is activist in the boycott and is currently representing an illegal immigrant who was arrasted by the cops.  You HAVE to listen to this podcast to see the flagrant attempt by Garcia to equate illegal alien to the N-word.  It is incredible.  I promise it is not spam or a virus:  Dallas Lawyer Domingo Garcia \nhttp://www.amfmpodcast.com/PodCast/KLIF/KLIF188/knapp-domingogarciapodcast.mp3

I'm so sorry that you would be so aggrieved by the lack of sentential correctness, in others' contributions. There are several reasons why it should be so, namely (but not exhaustively): \n\n1. the contributor is foreign and is not writing in their native tongue\n2. they were improperly or incompletely taught\n3. they have difficulty typing\n4. they suffer from a malady (e.g. dyslexia)\n5. they have little regard for convention\n6. they are excited by the prospect of interacting with the outside world - and hurry too much, to post their efforts\n7. they are anxious to convey meaning, with scant concern for its delivery\n8. as a global medium, the internet has effected a change in the English language by exposing it to the influence of the world\n9. the use of a continually evolving jargon e.g. from LOL to LMAO to ROFLMAO or from <GRIN> to :)\n10. the use of regional/national idiosyncrasies e.g. "I'm p*ssed!", in American English, has different meaning; here in the UK.\n\nOne should also consider that what constitutes Standard English (and its associated spelling and syntax) also varies, from one instantiation to another, around the world. \n\nWere I, truly, cognisant of your frustration (and douleur thus engendered) I should not, perhaps, have sought occasion to write in such formal fashion. It has been, most certainly, a divertissement and I pray you also found it thus.

We have had, but are rapidly losing, freedom of speech in the UK. The PC brigade / humanists are in the process of stamping out all views contrary to their own, esp the historically dominant Christian worldview, upon which most of the free world was founded (USA and England are prime examples). The irony of all this is that it is done in the name of free speech / tolerance. However, they (the PC brigade) are the most intolerant of the lot as they do not tolerate views contrary to their own.  In practical terms, it goes like this: "We the PC brigade hereby declare that there are no absolutes and that there is no truth, except of course for the absolute truth that their are no absolutes. Accordingly, no religion or other worldview has the right to state that it is true to the exclusion of others, though we (the PC brigade) of course believe that OUR PC views are true to the exclusion of all others". The true threat to freedom is now the fundamental PC brigade. How ironic, don't ya think?

there's 'antidisestablishmentarianism' at 28 letters, meaning 'opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England'. It is often considered the longest word as it has an actual meaning instead of being created just to be long.
