Perhaps a bit off the track:
I learned somewhere that the longest English word is smiles. Why? There
is a mile between the first and the last letter :-)

There are two answers.
The longest word in any English language is the name of a small town
in Wales - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch
(see Wikipedia if you're curious about what and where this is). I had
thought it was 56 letters, but this one is 59. Hmm.
The longest word in American English is
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, aka black lung disease.
It is 45 letters.
There is a longer word, which is the 85 letter long name of a village
in Africa, but I don't know what that one is (and I'm too lazy to
Google it right now :-).
FWIW.
