When I was a kid, I loved reading and spelling long words - sometimes even words of chemicals that were listed on the back of hairspray bottles. My mom LOVED hairspray. Anyway, now I love long names of places. It makes me very happy knowing there’s a modest hill out there with a legend and name that has 85 letters in it. I strongly feel that modest hills and hamlets deserve more recognition than they typically receive. We should do something about that.
This made me think of something I wrote in a story when I was a kid:
I wrote:
Everyone in the Uatwnuutrotufiianiiwtl came. The Uatwnuutrotufiianiiwtl is [the] “Useless Area that was never used until the rest of the Universe fell into it and now it is where they live.” Everyone has shortened that to “Uatwnuutrotufiianiiwtl.” They are still trying to think of a way to shorten that.
I wrote some pretty crazy things in those days. But I guess I still do.
