Question Of The Day: 5th April, 2006

Today's question is very different from the normal Inquizzitive pattern. All you need to so is tell me what is special(unique distinction) about this word in the English language?

PLEASE mail the answer to suhel.banerjee@gmail.com with 'Answer of the Day' as the subject line.

Answers over IM will NOT be considered.



And The Correct Ans Is

It is the longest mono syllable word (9 Letters) in English.

CORRECTION: Although this has been an age old quiz question, but some further research shows me there are other 9 letter mono syllable words too and here's a list of them.

Although 'Squirelled' has also been mentioned in some places as the longest such word, but since most dictionaries do not accept it as a word, we are not considering it.
