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
