There are different statements on the Internet for the longest word in English. Some words also appear in literary works, but are not officially recognized, or may not be included in the official dictionary because they are not commonly used.

As stated in Wikipedia: It is the longest word in the English language published in a dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary.

3. Disrupted letters You can still understand
This kind of sharing was popular on the Internet before, just a messed text that did not cause dyslexia. For example, "research shows that the order of typing Chinese characters will not affect reading." This phenomenon is also true in English. You can read the following passage:

I believe many netizens can understand it, meaning "The research from the University of Cambridge shows that the order of letters in a word is not important. The most important thing is that the position of the first and last letters of the word remains unchanged, and the remaining letters can be completely disrupted, and you can still understand it without any obstacles. This is because when people read, they do not read letters, but read the whole word."
4. The most common letter
The most common letter in English is e, but the writer Vincent Letter wrote a 50,000-word novel "Gastey", which does not have a letter e.
5. The only planets not named after God
The only one named by God is Earth (Earth), the rest are Mercury (Mercury), Venus (Venus), Mars (Mars), Jupiter (Jupiter), Saturn (Sourn), Uranus (Uranus), and Neptune (Neptune ).

6. Interesting palindrome
In Christian legends, Adam When he first met Eve , he said "Madam in eden, I'm Adam" means "Ms. Eden, I'm Adam". This sentence still means the same as the letters are reversed. Similar sentences include "No X in Nixon", which is said by supporters of former US President Nixon, meaning that Nixon is decisive and extremely wise.
