| Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon: Does It Exist? Posted: 20 Jun 2009 10:10 PM PDT
Some people wanted to know whether this strange word exist: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon is supposed to be the longest word in the English dictionary. I ventured out on my own to for some little research to see if this is listed in known online dictionaries. No, this word is NOT listed in any of those dictionaries. This word looks like something that is coined out in the medicine-related professions, which may be why those general-purpose dictionaries did not list down this word. I tried looking into the some well-established medical dictionaries online and got the same results – their search engines turned up nothing. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon is noun that's supposed to mean a lung disease that was caused by breathing in fine particles of siliceous volcanic dust. The same word is also spelled as pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. I am unable to find out further if this is indeed true, as there are no reliable online resources that back up this definition. Someone mentioned that this was featured on a TV show, but this isn’t listed even in some news sites. I heard that this was coined by someone named Everett Smith in 1935 just for the fun of investing a new longest word in his time. If anybody had found an established online dictionary that lists down this word with its formal definition, let me know. Wait, before you go, check these out:

| eBook Search Queen: Straightforward Search and Download Resource Posted: 20 Jun 2009 08:26 PM PDT
Those eBooks is not limited to using the PDF format – type in some keywords to search pdf, TXT, PPT, DOC and RTF eBooks that are available on the site. Since I am into WordPress themes I was happy to see links to WordPress-related eBooks. I was able to visit some of those links and grab a number of useful eBooks right now. The site isn't limited to a particular topic or niche – you can actually search for anything that satisfies your interest. If you are a keen observer, there's this little button at the upper right hand corner of the page that says "add to search engine list". For some reason that little button is not working yet. It looked like the button is a recent addition to the site. I hope this gets to be implemented soon so it would be convenient to interested users. This eBook Search Queen search engine is another a decent addition to my list of eBook resources.
