Irrational little fears
 
This is not a jab at anyone, but I just thought this was funny. This stems from a discussion I had using certain words that were felt to be "too big"...

Did you know there is a word for that? Sort of...

Logophobia, fear of words...but wait, there's more

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- Fear of long words

:heeheehee

Of course I had to cut and paste that..I could never remember how to spell it

I think it's misspelled.... but I don't know how to prove that ..... Oh, well, I guess I could prove it just as easily as some folks prove other things on AFF. :heeheehee
