English is an odd and remarkable language. We "write", we can be right", and we perform a "rite". But even more interesting than the fact of our language are the lengthy and rarely used words hidden among our dictionaries.

- Have widespread usage
- have sustained usage
- Have meaningful usage
By that definition, here are the three longest words in the English dictionary.
