"Oh, that's competely different. Never mind."
from World Wide Words newsletter:
Here in the UK, the longest name of any place is the famous Welsh one, usually written as Lanfair PG:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. There are many longer, including one in New Zealand with 92 letters.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. There are many longer, including one in New Zealand with 92 letters.
This week it was admitted officially that yet another long place name, of a lake near Worcester, Massachusetts, has been spelled wrongly on signs as Chargoggagoggmanchaoggagoggchaubunaguhgamaugg for some years.
It should be Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.
The locals call it Lake Webster.
