I was having a browse through my local MVC posters and came across KoolArt poster with lots of cars on, i noticed the fiat seicento pic on the top row, but they had it down as a fiat cinquecento :mad:

I liked this poster but didnt really want to pay money for it, so im thinking of pointing out there mistake so i get one for free, but im no good with big words so can you list a few good big words that i could use :eek: :D

im thinking my first letter of complaint will go to MVC and my second to the makers of the poster

i would like to point out to them that i was upset and distraught, i may need councelling to overcome this experience

all my mates now laugh at me cause my car is a cinq (although nothing wrong with a cinq)
 
Don't just use a tyranosaraus - you will end up replacing words that don't fit.

THey won't give you a freebie - well, I doubt they will.
 
antidisestablishmentarianism...longest word in the dictionary I think and probably mispealt. :bang:
Don't think it'd be helpful though.
 
Antidis....is the third longest as far as I remember, the first if like flockanock... and a disease you get from inhaling quartz dust or similar. I will look it up in a little while.
 
PNEUMONO*ULTRA*MICRO*SCOPIC*SILICO*VOLCANO*CONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONO*ULTRA*MICRO*SCOPIC*SILICO*VOLCANO*KONIOSIS) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.
This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.
(37) HEPATICO*CHOLANGIO*CHOLECYST*ENTERO*STOMIES = a surgical creation of a connection between the gall bladder and a hepatic duct and between the intestine and the gall bladder.
This is the longest word in Gould's Medical Dictionary.

(34) SUPER*CALI*FRAGI*LISTIC*EXPI*ALI*DOCIOUS = song title from the Walt Disney movie Mary Poppins.
It is in the Oxford English Dictionary.


"But then one day I learned a word
That saved me achin' nose,
The biggest word you ever 'eard,
And this is 'ow it goes:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"
(30) HIPPOPOTO*MONSTRO*SESQUIPED*AL*IAN = pertaining to a very long word.
From Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure and Preposterous Words.

(29) FLOCCI*NAUCINI*HILIPIL*IFICATION = an estimation of something as worthless.
This is the longest word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Interestingly the most common letter in English, E, does not appear in this word at all, whilst I occurs a total of nine times. The word dates back to 1741. The 1992 Guinness Book of World Records calls flocci*nauci*nihili*pilification the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary, and refers to pneumono*ultra*micro*scopic*silico*volcano*koniosis as the longest made-up one.

(28) ANTI*DIS*ESTABLISH*MENT*ARIAN*ISM = the belief which opposes removing the tie between church and state.
Probably the most popular of the "longest words" in recent decades.

(27) HONORI*FICABILI*TUDINI*TATIBUS = honorableness.
The word first appeared in English in 1599, and in 1721 was listed by Bailey's Dictionary as the longest word in English. It was used by Shakespeare in Love's Labor's Lost (Costard; Act V, Scene I):


"O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words.
I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;
for thou art not so long by the head as
honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier
swallowed than a flap-dragon."
Shakespeare does not use any other words over 17 letters in length.

(27) ELECTRO*ENCEPHALO*GRAPHICALLY
The longest unhyphenated word in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th Ed.), joint with ethylene*diamine*tetraacetate (see below).

(27) ANTI*TRANSUB*STAN*TIA*TION*ALIST = one who doubts that consecrated bread and wine actually change into the body and blood of Christ.

(21) DIS*PRO*PORTION*ABLE*NESS and (21) IN*COM*PREHEN*SIB*ILITIES
These are described by the 1992 Guinness Book of World Records as the longest words in common usage.

Some say SMILES is the longest word because there is a MILE between the first and last letters!

Chemical Terms
Two chemical terms (3,641 and 1,913 letters long) have appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records. They were withdrawn because they have never been used by chemists, and there is no theoretical limit to the length of possible legitimate chemical terms. A DNA molecule could have a name of over 1,000,000,000 letters if it was written out in full.
(1,185) ACETYL*SERYL*TYROSYL*SERYL*ISO*LEUCYL*THREONYL*SERYL*PROLYL*SERYL*GLUTAMINYL*PHENYL*ALANYL*VALYL*PHENYL*ALANYL*LEUCYL*SERYL*SERYL*VALYL*TRYPTOPHYL*ALANYL*ASPARTYL*PROLYL*ISOLEUCYL*GLUTAMYL*LEUCYL*LEUCYL*ASPARAGINYL*VALYL*CYSTEINYL*THREONYL*SERYL*SERYL*LEUCYL*GLYCYL*ASPARAGINYL*GLUTAMINYL*PHENYL*ALANYL*GLUTAMINYL*THREONYL*GLUTAMINYL*GLUTAMINYL*ALANYL*ARGINYL*THREONYL*THREONYL*GLUTAMINYL*VALYL*GLUTAMINYL*GLUTAMINYL*PHENYL*ALANYL*SERYL*GLUTAMINYL*VALYL*TRYPTOPHYL*LYSYL*PROLYL*PHENYL*ALANYL*PROLYL*GLUTAMINYL*SERYL*THREONYL*VALYL*ARGINYL*PHENYL*ALANYL*PROLYL*GLYCYL*ASPARTYL*VALYL*TYROSYL*LYSYL*VALYL*TYROSYL*ARGINYL*TYROSYL*ASPARAGINYL*ALANYL*VALYL*LEUCYL*ASPARTYL*PROLYL*LEUCYL*ISOLEUCYL*THREONYL*ALANYL*LEUCYL*LEUCYL*GLYCYL*THREONYL*PHENYL*ALANYL*ASPARTYL*THREONYL*ARGINYL*ASPARAGINYL*ARGINYL*ISOLEUCYL*ISOLEUCYL*GLUTAMYL*VALYL*GLUTAMYL*ASPARAGINYL*GLUTAMINYL*GLUTAMINYL*SERYL*PROLYL*THREONYL*THREONYL*ALANYL*GLUTAMYL*THREONYL*LEUCYL*ASPARTYL*ALANYL*THREONYL*ARGINYL*ARGINYL*VALYL*ASPARTYL*ASPARTYL*ALANYL*THREONYL*VALYL*ALANYL*ISOLEUCYL*ARGINYL*SERYL*ALANYL*ASPARAGINYL*ISOLEUCYL*ASPARAGINYL*LEUCYL*VALYL*ASPARAGINYL*GLUTAMYL*LEUCYL*VALYL*ARGINYL*GLYCYL*THREONYL*GLYCYL*LEUCYL*TYROSYL*ASPARAGINYL*GLUTAMINYL*ASPARAGINYL*THREONYL*PHENYL*ALANYL*GLUTAMYL*SERYL*METHIONYL*SERYL*GLYCYL*LEUCYL*VALYL*TRYPTOPHYL*THREONYL*SERYL*ALANYL*PROLYL*ALANYL*SERINE

is depicting a good word - what does it mean

de·pict ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d-pkt)
tr.v. de·pict·ed, de·pict·ing, de·picts
To represent in a picture or sculpture.
To represent in words; describe.
 
Tell him how it is!

Yes Gaz, you can say "you depict a sei and call it a cinq"

It's similar to show.
 
Oh and anybody who can say that word to me without reading it out can have £3 of my well earned cash. (I mean the huge chemical one)
 
Woot. But I don't think medical term would be much help either...the honourableness one might...but you might just sound pretentious Gaz.
 
Dear Sir/Madam,

Recently I had the oppotunity to view one of your posters. I was under the understanding that it depicted my car model; the seicento sporting. I was overjoyed to see as such, that was, of course, until I saw the name underneath. You have erroneously named the motor vehicle the cinqcento. This firstly besmirched me then caused me to have a rare disease, quoted as being PNEUMONO*ULTRA*MICRO*SCOPIC*SILICO*VOLCANO*CONIOSI S by the doctor. They said I could have some medicine so we sang SUPER*CALI*FRAGI*LISTIC*EXPI*ALI*DOCIOUS preceeding doing this. All was well until unfortunately I had to go through a complicated procedure of HEPATICO*CHOLANGIO*CHOLECYST*ENTERO*STOMIES to correct the damage done to me through your quoting error.

I have been to church to receive an exorcist and saw in the flesh transubstantiation followed by transignification in a prosestant church.

The DIS*PRO*PORTION*ABLE*NESS of this error and the considerable IN*COM*PREHEN*SIB*ILITIES means that one deserves, ney, one demands a complimentry poster post haste.

A'wight?

Gaz
