Someone should make "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" into an email address and see how many emails actually get sent to them. It is such a cool word, but so harsh to those who suffer from it

Actually I think it was sesquipedaliophobia originally. A "sesquipedalian" means simply a long, polysyllabic word. I don't know why they had to add "hippopotomonstro-" to it. "Monstro" may come from the Latin, "monstrum" that means monster. But "hippo" is greek for horse, and if they meant hippopotamus, then they've changed the a to an o in the "potamus" (river) for some reason I can't discern (maybe to join it to "monstro-", yet it should have been "potamo-" and not "poto-"...yes I am obsessing). Anyhow, go fig.
It's probably a joke that caught on.

Indeed I do, it should go to explain *some* of my actions on this site to a small degree

I have also Ringophobia. I have a phobia of the movie, The Ring. Totally not joking. But for some reason, I couldn't seem to find that one in either of the dictionaries...
