How to read and remember a word that is particularly long
How do you read and remember a word that spells particularly long? For example:
1)supercalifragilisticexpiadocious
2) bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk
It looks to me pointless to have made such long words because you cannot read it in a breath.

Hi NL888 The first word is pretty easy to remember if you learn the song it comes from. But, keep in mind that it isn't really a word in the usual sense. It's a made-up, nonsense word, and it was invented specifically for that song.

That word comes from a movie called "Mary Poppins".
This is the part that people usually remember:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Much of the scene in the movie actually centers on the fact that
