I reasoned that any correct "sentence" would be both grammatically and logically sound. (It is not entirley truthful, however, as in claiming to abjure certain words I use them.) :)

OK, while we're on the subject of ridiculous words:
Have any of you noticed how antidisestablishmentarianism is superfluous? It's a double negative! Anti- and Dis- both mean against. So you're against being against establishmentarianism. Therefore you could just say "Establishmentarianism".
(Maybe I think way too much ;-)

Actually, the definition of disestablishmentarianism is "An opponent of an established order, especially one who opposes state support of an established church."
Antidisestablishmentarianism therefore means you oppose these kind of people.
"Establishmentarianism" refers directly to the established order.

Ahh! I see. So it's apposing someone who apposes something. Not necessarily the thing itself :-)

Odd. I guess you revoked your requirement that the sentence make grammatical sense, then. (Or even that it had to be the longest).
Congrats anyway to Balthier.
