funny you mention it - last time I spelled hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia I actually spelled it like hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - that silent p gets me every time ...

Touche! Yea, I thought it was funny that:
A. The word is rare enough that your blog entry on it was the first thing to come up on a google search. and
2. yes, 2. that such a silly long word (hint to the definition) would have a "common misspelling".
So, is the 2nd e long then (as indicated by the single p)? I would think not!
