SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS.

Yeah, well, Miracle_seed wants a word with NO repeating letters/alphabets. So supercalifgragilisticexpialidocious doesn't pass this criteria with repeated "s", "u" and so on...

I guess it ain't a real word yet. At least it's not listed in dictionary.com for now. I came across that in the urban dictionary

Firefox's dictionary is not the most complete dictionary... for example it doesn't have newer words such as blogger, google etc.

no offence, but i normally just gloss over what you type because of your refusal to spell properly.

And i suspect so do some other people.

Well, actually, some offence.

lol, its not your fault. I was slightly tired the other night too, so i was kinda annoyed by the shortcut spellings. Its really distracting.

Seeing how this thread is kinda english based, i just thought i'd bring it up.

But i maintain my stand: its really distracting. You normally see it used by internet noobs, so unconciously or not, it doesn't really help credibility when you speak like that.
