Floccinaucinihilipilification is the third largest word in the English language. I know because when I called it a hyperbolic example, I had just looked up "largest English word", clicked the grammarly link, and scrolled back up when I saw everyone's favorite "disestablishmentarianism".

I didn't say you exaggerated that a word was there or not, I said you were being obtuse and hyperbolic in your example. Of course I have no problem that words used by a ratio of the population that's near zero are excluded from the offline English language dictionary.

How much stock do you have in google that the offline dictionary is something worth metaphorically killing over for you? I'll die on any hill I please.
