  But then I cheated and googled it:

  Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
  a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine ash and sand dust.

  Just looked at Craig’s, and I think he’s right…knew that a long time ago.

  Craig is today’s winner!! Excellent answers everyone. Smiles … there’s a mile between the first and last letters or pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. The forty-five-letter word is the name of a special form of silicosis caused by ultra-microscopic particles of siliceous volcanic dust. Other long words are: floccinaucinihilipilification (29) Antidisestablishmentarianism (28)
