'LONGEST' is undeniably the 'longest' English word in the English Dictionary. How can some other word be longer than 'LONGEST'?

'LONGEST' is undeniably the 'longest' English word in the English Dictionary. How can some other word be longer than 'LONGEST'? Longer than Longest would be INFINITY! Longest is still measurable.... infinity can't be measured. |

Longest is still measurable.... infinity can't be measured. If something is 'longer' than 'longest', then 'longest' will never have any valid meaning, in the true sense of the term. Besides, how can something be 'longer' than the thing that has been concluded to be 'longest'? |

"BUT" and "IF"
seems to be the longest words in human life. They are so effective to make time longer, have the powers to delay events, good times, good news and what not. On seeing the thread I was to open dictionary and comment right BUT.. |
