Everywhere I look, I see this word spelled as aequeosalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolic. It differs here:
- aequeosalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolic
- aequeosalinocalcalinosetaceoaluminosocupreovitriolic
According to Oxford and Wikipedia, it has the spelling that is not in Wiktionary. Can anyone shed any light on this? sewnmouthsecret 19:24, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- It isn't of too much consequence, but all three books hits are on the spelling we list here. No hits for the other. - [The]DaveRoss 23:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
