I find it ironic the fear of long words is called Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

Here's what it actually means...
QuoteHippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia â€" fear of long words.[5] Hippopoto- "big" due to its allusion to the Greek-derived word hippopotamus (though this is derived as hippo- "horse" compounded with potam-os "river", so originally meaning "river horse"; according to the Oxford English, "hippopotamine" has been construed as large since 1847, so this coinage is reasonable); -monstr- is from Latin words meaning "monstrous", -o- is a noun-compounding vowel; -sesquipedali- comes from "sesquipedalian" meaning a long word (literally "a foot and a half long" in Latin), -o- is a noun-compounding vowel, and -phobia means "fear".

yeah, so "the fear of long words" suffices without the etymology lesson.

that wasn't being exact, exact would be if he corrected the definition slightly.
all he did was restate the same thing in a much longer way.
i say he's "mr. restatment with a very long explaination" in this instance
alfisti said he thought it was ironic that it was the fear of long words, I simply stated why the word is as long as it is.
;D
