How do you spell pneumonoultramicroscopic-silicovocanoconiosis?

It has another L, the actual word "volcano" in it. The reason you see it spaced or hyphenated is that the word is too long (45 letters) to display in the question and answers boxes properly. When this happens, all you see are the "..." after the maximum letters. It is (minus the hyphen) "pneumonoultramicroscopic-silicovolcanoconiosis."
