Close, but no cigar, Alan.

The word "Aegilops" is neither common nor English. It is a botanical and medical term derived from the Greek word Αιγόκερως and is not in common use. So there :p

Your original post stated that 'almost' was the longest word in the English language etc. You didn't define that to beat it another word had to be 'common'.

In any event just look at how many times the word Aegilops has appeared in this thread ................. :rofl:

"Love Me Tender" was Elvis Presley's first movie, released in 1956.

It was the only movie in which he didn't receive top billing and the only movie in which his character died.
