BE AFRAID: Phobia:Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia-the fear of long words

I hope this post will help because I've heard that lots of people thought that Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is fear of hippopotamus monster or something.

Are you afraid of words like SUPER­CALI­FRAGI­LISTIC­EXPI­ALI­DOCIOUS, or ANTI­DIS­ESTABLISH­MENT­ARIAN­ISM? if you are.. have a phobia called Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.

Hey thats not funny..
It doesn't seem fair but people who are afraid of long words are said to suffer from Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. It started as a joke , but it is now so well known, it's kind of true. Another name for this phobia is almost as long -its sesquippedaliophobia.
