Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

A word used to describe people with a fear of long words. Sesquipedalophobia means exactly the same thing, except everyone just wanted to add more to make fun of people with the fear. When trying to write this down, always triple-check to make sure you get the spelling correct. One does not easily spells a 35-lettered word this easily.
