189,819 Letters? Seriously?

That is so long, lots of Ys and Ls, how can you be afraid of Titin though, every person has it ?

1. It's a real word

Is it really? I see that as the connected names of ingredients of proteins that make up titin with "phobia" attached at the end, I won't really count it as a real word, more like... "jumbled sentence"

But then again, we have "muggle" as an official word, maybe I'm actually wrong

Okay, did a few searches, and the damn thing truly is the name of titin, which chemical formulae is
C132.983 H211.861 N36.149 O40.883 S693

However, it's a name, not really a word in a sense that it's plausible to use that in a conversation.
Well, it depends on how you define "word" actually

No, you're correct... sort of.

However, professional dictionary writers regard generic names of chemical compounds as verbal formulae rather than English words.

Therefore, it's not a legitimate English word :-\

Kinda cool though.

EDIT:
Or.... exactly what you said before me

Best. Word. (Thingy.) Ever!

This wouldn't have anything to do with my phobia topic, would it?

Now whos the asshole that made that word?

How many points is it worth in Scrabble?

I heard of this word years ago; I was reading about...words...just because I could though.

Heh. Yup, definitely an asshole that came up with that.

Zero. Since it's not technically a word.
(not even with the new "proper noun" fucking bullshit asshat nutrubbing dongstrangling cockhouse rule that was changed {yes, i hate the idea of that rule being changed...} because a chemical compound is a formula rather than a 'word')

See the quote above yours.

That type of person.

Wow! Now thats a long name...

Out of sheer boredom I ran the full name through an online scrabble points calculator. The full name from the website is worth 334,825 points.

That shit sure is worth the effort

If I ever won EuroMillions or something with one of the 75 million rollovers, I'd have a scrabble board built big enough for me to put this down on a triple word score. Just for the lolz.

Yes, I'm like that sometimes quite often.

Nobody really made it. If you study Chemistry, you'll understand. They basically made a form of naming each protein - just like in English we use vowels & consonants to form words. But, their "vowels & consonants" are words. When you're naming small proteins, the system words beautifully. Then you hit proteins like this...And it just goes on forever, since it's made up of dozens of smaller proteins.

So basically, nobody actually made up the "word" (it's a name.) They're just following a set of rules, which eventually they reach the end, and there you have it.

When you're getting paid to do it, you've got a very, very long time.
