Some languages have limits to how many prefixes and suffixes you can stuff into one word, still keeping it meaningful. For instance, in Turkish: çekoslavakyalilastiramadiklarimizdan misiniz? which loosely means 'Are you one of those people we have failed to turn into Czechoslovakians?'
WOW for that word! Until now I’d always considered the longest English word to be pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, but yours is MUCH better and knocks mine into a cocked hat!!!
I'm trying to remember if we had filmoscopes in North America but I don't recall them. I totally think you should buy one (as long as you don't need the money for food or rent).
So what counts as a word? Who gets to decide this?

Yeah, I thought the longest word would be something like Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
🤣

My friend who grew up in the UK of the 80s says it wasn't a thing there either.
