A very small word that no one understands. GOD. Thousands of different understandings of a word that only exists in one's imagination.

won me a few points in quizzes over the years, as did pointillism.

By:
dendro means trees usually, so I'm guessing it is estimating the age of trees.

By:
^ nobody gets that. in most cases the effect of affect has the same affect as effect

or is it the opposite  |

not a long word but one of the most used,irratating words used especially by very young people is surreal,anything and everything is so surreal these days
