It is one word! The Guinness Book of Records lists it a such, I just posted it hyphenated to see if it was easier to read aloud...and it also ties in with the Native Americans speech rhythm, plenty of artistic licence then.

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.
This is a hill near Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The height of the hill is 305 metres (1,001 ft). The hill is notable primarily for having unusually long name, which is of Maori origin.
Just like the Welsh Village, it's an official name, that's an in depth description of the place's identity.

... and the other way round. I keep seeing 'none binary' being used in the forum.
I suspect that the reason lies in the way parts of the country pronounce 'none' as 'non' instead of 'nun'. |

"Necessary. I try to remember one collar, two sleeves but I often get it wrong. Also niece."
Oh i like that way to remember never heard it before
For niece i would always stick with “I before E except after C” … must have been 6 when i was given that rhyme and never forgotten it
Words that are hard for me to spell would be everything looking at my screen. I have to go back and correct every other word most of the time. but i will say its much more of a typing problem than a spelling one |

"There, their and they're apparently
That’s a Fab thing
No, it is just a sad reflection on our education system and I am sometimes embarrassed by admitting to having been part of it over a span of 33 years."
I actually think its the result of moving into a much more verbal world. We call rather than write letters and have meetings rather than write memos
Verbally they all sound the same. I know the difference between all 3 and when to use each and even which one i meant when typing… but still i put down the wrong version occasionally because most of the time when talking it doesn’t matter which i wanted to use |

Definitely seems to catch a lot of people out.
"Defiantly" definitely doesn't mean the same thing. |

"Dyslexia... especially if you're dyslexic! I've always thought that was cruel. Like, why does "lisp" have an "s" (ethhh) in it? It's just mean!"
Cruel no, self diagnosing? Yes |

"Woman" to most of the internet.
Seen countless profiles on here refer themselves as "a women" 
Might have to start referring to myself as "a men" to compensate  |

You 'wood of fought' that more people would know how to spell 'have'. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
The following ALWAYS stop me in my tracks:
palate - taste/roof of the mouth thing
pallet - a wood thing
palette - a colour thing
For the rest of my days I just can't see remembering which one is which.

- isn't it intriguing how when some words (such as penis) have their letters rearranged become different but the same?! Eg - penis/spine. A penis can become a spine(y) instrument |

Going by what can be seen on Social media, it seems that 'does' and 'has' cause a lot of people problems as I often see them spelt 'dose' and 'as' |
