While our language does not contain such long words as are found In some other tongues nor so many words of unusual length, still we have several that are awkwardly long for conversa tional purposes. We have “philopro genltiveness,” with twenty letters; “in tereonvertlbllltles,” with twenty-one; “intercominunlcabllitles,” with twenty two; “dlsproportlonableness,” with twenty-three, and “transsubstantiatlon allsts” and “contradtstinguishabllity,” each containing twenty-four letters. An effective little word la “synacategore matlc,” as It manages to compress eight syllables Into seventeen letters. The longest monosyllables contain nine letters, and there are four ex amples: “splotched,” “squelched,” “strengths” and “stretched.” New York Tribune. His Mental Incapacity.
