The longest single-syllable word. Originally dubbed "Schphleempst" before a K was added to elongate it. And just now, I added an silent H. Currently spelled with 14 letters, this word is open to additional characters. I have always dreamed of spelling it with a silent 6 or a wing-ding symbol of a small rubber duck or the embodied representation of anxiety or a family portrait from 1974 or 57 silent letters that would otherwise spell out an ancient proverb about ravens.
