WORD OF THE WEEK

Hippopopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: The fear of long words.

Pronounciation: Hi-poh-po-toh-mon-stroh-ses-kwee-peh-dah-leejoh-foh-beeja

Sentence: When Anne told her teacher that she had hippopopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, the teacher looked puzzled.

Yes, it a real thing!

It's ironic, isn't it? While you're telling people you're afraid of big words, you have to do it using an extremely big word! I am not hippopopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic- in fact, I love big words. I find them amusing!

Do I also love spending hours learning how to pronounce them?

Are you hippopopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic?

Until next week...

Stay Curious ;)

Love,

Sarah
