Do you have a longer word in another form of English that fits the criterion? Because, if not, my post is correct, regardless of whether or not it's spelled differently in other varieties of English.

According to Amazon manager Jeff Bezos, lightweight packages will be delivered worldwide by low-flying remote-controlled drone as soon as 2015 if the necessary permits can be obtained. So far, no country has proved willing to grant these permits. "Do you have a longer word in another form of English that meets the criterion?" 'Shantytowns'. I believe this would be split into two words in American English. Interestingly, you can get much longer words in this way if you use a DVORAK keyboard instead of a QWERTY one, no matter which English language you use.

Yes, there will be packages attached to flying things all over the place. It'll be just like Animal Crossing! We should all start carrying slingshots around everywhere.  Well, that word's not longer, but it does have the same length.  At the height of inflation in the early 1920s, one quintillion German marks were worth about two United States dollars.

Apples are more effective than caffeine at waking someone up.
I suppose I could argue about relative widths of letters in certain fonts, but it's probably safer just to promise to triple-check next time. EDIT: Although my computer, with its unerring sense of timing, just came up with 'authenticity', proving us both wrong. *sigh*

As you age the moister content of your body naturally decreases. Newborns are close to 80% water while an adult man is closer to 65%. Men tend to be drier than women at all stages of life.

In America, someone attempts suicide once every minute, and someone completes a suicide once every 17 minutes. Throughout the world, approximately 2,000 people kill themselves each day. Saw this on the internet, it shocked me

^^Wow, so only one in seventeen American suicide attempts succeed? That surprises me.
^Yeah, and a lot of those are teenagers because their stress levels are so ridiculously high.
In Idaho, it is illegal to give another citizen a box of candy that weighs more than fifty pounds (222.727 Newtons).
