The second longest word in the dictionary is pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, an inherited disorder of some sort. The longest English non-medical term, and third-longest word in the English language, is floccinaucinihilipilification, which is the act of considering something worthless. Antidisestablishmentarianism is the fourth-longest word in the English language. It refers to a political position. TNT is a type of dynamite. African countries are prone to erupting into fights. The parotoid gland is an external skin gland on the back, neck, and shoulder of toads and some salamanders. It secretes an alkaloid milky substance to deter predators.

Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson was the first video to air on MTV by a black artist. "Almost" is the longest commonly used word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order.
6	Ursula Wed 4/2/2008 3:13p	Race car is the same thing spelled backwards. APT ISDN systems are the best kind to bridge with a Dolby Fax...unless both facilities have Dolby fax, then you don't need a bridge. Standard union rules state that on a Saturday (or 6th day) double-rate in effect is used to calculate the rates after 12-hours have elapsed from the call time. For Sundays (or 7th days) it is the same. The rate for Saturdays (6th) is time and a half, so in essence, double-rate in effect is triple time. For Sundays (7th) double-rate in effect is quad time, since you are doubling doulbe-time. Meal penalty take effect after six hours have elapsed from the crew's call-time without a meal-time period being called. The minimium amount of time for a meal-break is one-half-hour. Meal penatly is billed per half-hour per crew member. Call times can be cancelled as long as it is 8-hours before the call time. Cancelling after this 8-hour window will cause full charges to be billed.
7	Ursula Wed 4/2/2008 3:20p	Short calls can be used for ADR and Scoring staff only. Short calls are billed at four hours to the client, crew members get six hours of pay, and any second used after the crew is clocked in for four hours is billed at time and a half. Short calls can be used on the weekend. However, the rates are per 6th and 7th days as applicable.
8	Lady Starlight Wed 4/2/2008 5:58p	It's impossible to lick your own ear. But not someone elses. However they can in turn go back and lick your ear for you. No huh? I missed the whole thought behind this thread didn't I?
9	Ursula Wed 4/2/2008 6:12p	^ No, that's correct, you can't lick your own ear. The human brain weighs, on average, 3 pounds. A woman's brain is, on average, 7 oz. lighter than a man's brain due to men having larger heads. On average, of course.
10	Lady Starlight Wed 4/2/2008 6:28p	The dot over the letter 'i' is called a tittle. A 2x4 is actually 1-1/2" x 3-1/2"
