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".

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.
