The longest word in any major English language dictionary is pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­coniosis, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease, but research has discovered that this word was originally intended as a hoax. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim. Awesome, right?

Are you a text fanatic? There are various single letter words used as abbreviations in text-speak and related uses:

* a – "eh" (a popular Canadian phrase)
* b – "be" or "bee"
* c – "sea" or "see"
* f – "fat"
* I – "eye"
* k – "okay"
* n – "in" or "and"
* o – "oh"
* p – "pea" (small green vegetable) or "pee" (to urinate)
* q – "cue" or "queue"
* r – "are"
* t – "tea" or less commonly "tee"
* u – "you"
* v – "very"
* w – "with"
* x – part of the phrase "x out"
* y – "why"

Various digits have also been pressed into service in this manner:

* 1 – "won"
* 2 – "to", "too". Can also be used as part of a word. Example: 2moro (tomorrow).
