Wouldn't you know it, there's already a website devoted to this question. 🙄

Their longest one (notwithstanding the ridiculous chemical formula above 😉)
Aftercataracts for 14.
And I suppose I could rerererererereaggravate something also....

I figured there would be an easy way to find it, I was just testing the ingenuity of MR users😀

Bonus points if you post a movie of you saying that 😉
😀 Good find!
Does pasting a really long word you already have on the clipboard using Cmd+V count as typing with one hand? 😛 I'm not sure I could beat that acetylserylnonsense though...

I sea what you did there. You broke the rules with that one. Y and T are operated by different hands, so you cannot type both t and y with one hand.
Therefore, fail.

Yeah, that's kind of an "easter egg" that's been around for a hundred years or so. 🙂

Not entirely on topic, but we have Googled the answer ;p
When I smashed one of my hands rock climbing, I learned to touch type with one hand.
At http://www.typingtest.com/ I can score 35 WPM with my left hand (dominant) and 37 WPM with my right hand (the one I didn't smash). Anyone else?

What exactly is the definition of word here? Are any of these words found in any dictionary of the English language? Tesseradecads appears to be a word, but tesseradecades doesn't. Aftercateracts (Medical aberration? Doesn't appear to be used with any frequency in medicine). Tetrastearates I guess could be seen as legitimate, but....

I don't think that that is a real word, when I googled the only results that I got were in this thread.😉😀
