This is so fantastically cruel, naming the fear of long words like that. For shame, you phobia namers, for shame.

I so long ago misspelt this hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia on my list and thought it was inconceivable no one else had added it.

This is a misspelling (the second double "p" should be single), although it is the more prevalent spelling online. Valse's spelling is correct (hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia), since the basis of the word is hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian.

Nicolina (age 11) found this word the other day and said to me: 'Daddy, If someone told you they suffered from hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, if they didn't faint, you'd know they were lying'.
