From Merriam-Webster's word of the day: sesquipedalian means 'having many syllables' :-)

FYI, there's also a word "hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian" (yes, there really is!) which means "having even more syllables than that".

Don't you hate it when you type/write a word and just can't work out whether it's spelt correctly or not (should that be spelled?)

Current word of confusion is suspicion - just doesn't look right for some reason...

The Dorothy L. Sayers Version

"Bredon went to Balliol
And sat at the feet of Gamaliel
And just as he ought
He cared for nought
And his language was sesquipedalial."
