I've got a word or two that I want to coin as my very own, as they're the longest english-translatable words I've been able to think up (yes, longer than Antidisestablishmentarianisms)....would anyone be interested? or know how I might copyright them?

re:would anyone be interested? or know how I might copyright them?

why would you want them copyrigthed? then no one could use them with out permission, and they would never gain general acceptance!

there is a new paradigm... give them away for free! (include your name with them.) have them become indispensable parts of everyday life!

Chaos, you know 'im, gave the word, !! what we do with out it? its just the perfect word to express...

you'll be seen a latest and greatest,and everyone will come to you for new ideas.. charge them! make a fortune...

..but be aware that "longest word" can be a futile goal; antidisestablishmentarianism isn't even the standard.

I know, I'm jus' mince meat; so here's one o' them url things: http://www.dictionary.com/doctor/faq/l/longestword.html

(and I think it's been mentioned here afore: antidisestablishmentarianism has been belittled by pseudoantidisestablishmentariansim--if I've managed to spell that quasi-approximately-correctly.)

Paradox is a measure of our inability to understand.
