OP Dear Keiva,
You wrote: His suspicion is allayed by noting that the dictionary's dust jacket includes a part of its text and prominantly displays the word hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian...
Your suspicion is justly allayed because I would have added hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian to my legal use of such hippopotomonstrosesquipedalious words. Recently, I mentioned hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliaphobia and, what follows (with mincing feet) the hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliaphobe!
Rest assured, by your insightful deduction, I do not possess Mrs. Bryne's dictionary. Ordered it on Amazon, but they cancelled! They probably intuited the trouble it would cause here. The Byrne site was incorrect; they've acknowledged the mistake to me, thanks to contsuwm.
And I, for one, will incorrectly use cornobbled for the rest of my days. [Ducking for fear of flying fish here]
Best regards,
Hippopotamonstrosesquipedaliadubdub
