Entry: Ridiculously Long Words - A4130443
Author: Cyvros - U944960
It's a bit short and a bit iffy, and I was recommended to push this into the Flea Market. If someone else would like to take over, feel free. Just be warned: finding the right places for breaks in those long names can be a bit of a pain.

Please note that we already have an entry about that ridiculously long chemical name at A182765. If this entry becomes edited, the other one should be demoted and the author of it should be added to this one.
I had to correct a few spelling mistakes in it, so if this entry goes ahead, you might like to compare the spelling here to the spelling there.
Also note that ­ (soft hyphen) should be inserted after every syllable in really wrong words to allow them to wrap at the ends of lines.

Tada. 
Thanks for the tips - I never realised about ­. Talk about a lifesaver!
