Yes, of course, as there is no such thing as a unique 'dictionary definition' for a word. What you'd be doing is picking one dictionary, whether it be the OED, or Websters, etc, and plagiarising the wording that they chose to use to define it.


What is the longest word in the OED?

The longest word in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," a term referring to a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine silicate or quartz dust. This 45-letter word is often cited as an example of an intentionally long word coined to serve as the longest English word. While it is rarely used in everyday language, it highlights the potential for word formation in English.


Is Ima a word in the dictionary?

With the possible exception of the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), I doubt you will find this word in any dictionary just yet since it is, at this stage, a relatively recent abbreviation or shortcut used almost exclusively by younger people on internet and cellphone messaging services, and means "I am going to...". It is probably not yet well enough established in other communications, nor used among a wide enough age group, to rate a position in a dictionary. For those unfamiliar with the term, an example of its use would be, in regard to an upcoming exam for instance, "Ima ace it" or "I am going to ace it" (I am going to do extremely well on it.) Ray
